Austria is in the EU, would you trust Jörg Haider with your gay rights mailing list?

[sohooo]

That would be a highly suspicious situation, considering the fact that J. Haider died in a car accident more than a year ago.

Considering he was gay and is now dead I would say the answer is yes :-)

But I know what you mean and you are right, the EU doesn't prevent rabid populism. Interestingly though, it's the mainstream parties in the EU who aggressively pursue all kinds of privacy intrusions and surveillance madness.

That particular list, yes.
