While I'm generally very pro-EU, this initiative they keep pushing - despite experts persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.
Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.
This would mean the end of privacy.
If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.
As a side note: it's baffling to see that Germany is seemingly still undecided on the matter of , given their history with mass surveillance in the DDR.

Do you want to lose even more faith? Let me introduce you to ... Basically the entire Eastern EU. Four decades of Red Nazis (Eastern Satellite states), for some even more (Baltics who were part of the USSR), for some even a hard occupation (Czechoslovakia since 1968).
And what is their stance?
Every single one of them except two (Czechia and Poland) FULLY FUCKING SUPPORT THIS SHIT!!!
Not that I'm surprised with Hungary (led by Nazi-wannabe Orb-Cunt) and Slovakia (led by the half-shot shoe-box-shaped imbecile Fico) but the rest? It's like being threatened with a concentration camp and you ask "can it take a selfie from my execution?" 
wanna know something a little scary about hash databases? The sync is just "download this complete new database blob", it's not with any sort of change history, so if someone adds a hash for malicious reasons, then removes it, there'd be no record of that, but the reports would have been generated.
this is the same for dnsbl's, email spam lists, url malware lists, etc.
