Julia Reda is a fringe member of the European Parliament, a member of the Pirate Party ... A one-joke Johnny even in the rarified air of fringe candidates ...
She drafted a proposal which failed in many ways, not least apparently in furthering her own understandings of privacy -- she eventually voted against her own proposal. If her proposal had passed -- something that would never happen -- the proposal still would have had no effect, as that's not how legislation gets drafted in the EU. It would have been examined by the grown-ups in the European Commission, who would have ignored it.
Calling this publicity stunt a threat is the worst kind of chicken-little posturing.
Cheers,
GB
