The point about the culture war surrounding social media bans had me reflecting on how, as Masnick mentions, bills like the DSA is meant to streamline the legislative process across every country in the EU. Countries like Spain going their own way actively undermines the whole point behind the EU acting as a single body rather than as several smaller entities, not helped by making a secret coalition that itself acts as a sovereign entity within the EU. It’s hard not to look at it as countries actively undermining the EU for sake of populism, and even harder not to draw comparisons to Brexit.
