The fact that EU has ad campaigns on Twitter is more embarrassing

I was about to write that i agree, but then i read the article. The ads were targeting people to sway public opinion on chat control, the very purpose GDPR was built to control. I expected more from our politicians.
So, as embarrassing as twitter is, the intended purpose is worse.
I'm glad GDPR seems to work.
