> Whatever the good intentions of EU lawmakers, they seem inept at technical legislation
I don't think that's a specialization of EU lawmakers, particularly. A far as I can recall, laemakers started thinking about internet regulation around the turn of the millenium, and I didn't welcome the prospect; I assumed that regulation would favour state intelligence and police agencies, and would be drafted by adtech lobbyists. Why? Because I didn't think the civil servants who are supposed to draft these laws had the requisite competence.
