The EU’s run at being idiosyncratic continues with its push for the digitisation of much of its infrastructure, and it shows. There are also indications it may not just be a public communications type of problem for them.
Its clumsy engagement with American technology giants has come up as one teething issue. It cannot shake the reputation of being backward when it comes to its rejection of harmless social media platforms. The sponsor of liberal culture has run into a controversy of its own making.
At the same time as the largest confusion of human population in Europe in the modern era, it seeks to streamline travel in a largely restriction-free zone. It penalises those with passports, ignores those without documentation, and is silent on the giveaway culture of some States, like Spain.
