That's interesting. It sounds like there might kind of cognitive/perceptual phenomenon here, where one person might hear "the EU is just as bad as China when it comes to internet freedoms" and another might hear "the EU wants consumer data protection."

I imagine there's some research and maybe even a model about how these kinds of perceptual differences happen, but the primary way of getting awareness out would probably be for some large media outlets to write something enlightening about that for their audience.
