Back off, Brussels -- leave Europe's Web alone!

[dArKeR]

The EU's suggestion last week that it may require national media regulators to police Internet content for taste and decency has European netizens up in arms.

Nazism. Txt msg spEk. People who attach photos to their CVs. Transparent cars. There are some things in life that it is easy to criticize. But by far the easiest is the EU in Brussels.

Silly old, interfering old Brussels. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm as Europhilic as the next person, but I do sometimes wonder if the European legislators get together every week and say: "Right, we've interfered with fruit shapes, pet naming, the consistency of soap and the size of road signs ... what else can we overcomplicate? How about the smell of toy cars? Brilliant!"
