European countries from privacy and freedom perspective (sh.itjust.works)

Hey-ho, privacy enthusiasts

I'm currently traveling around the world, and thinking about staying in Europe for 5ish years

But i'm a tinfoil guy and aware of the "many eyed beast"

So, what do you think? All lies and everything is actually dystopian, or everything should be fine?

I'm actually thinking about 4 countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece (because don't like cold, and actually a little bit sick of other countries in the EU😅😅😅)

Having read your assumptions about Europe, you'll be pleased to hear that mental healthcare is free in most countries

Wtf?

I wouldn't call him mental ill. Maybe he's a small time crook, sells and smokes weed and has a little bit of paranoia.

Truth be told, in my criminal past (mostly online fraud, but some real life crime too), I have had similar thoughts. But hey, don't do stupid shit in countries which you don't know.

You're mostly correct. But they reason i'm paranoid because I just don't think it's a right thing to spy on people. I'm more kind of a free spirit and share love guy, and I don't like the idea of living in the world of lies being constantly observed

Edit: In addition, you never know what's going to be illegal tomorrow, you don't need anything to hide to feel disgusted about governments spying on people
