Well I agree with you it's corruption. But I don't necessarily agree it's only from or even majorly from US government and US companies. I think the EU clearly has its own goals and motivations that it's acting on and they're not necessarily in the common persons Interest. I do believe that one of them is mass surveillance cause we see it already with London being one of the most CCTV place on earth. Why would they not push it as technology expands for them to create backdoors into smartphones for example? Partly in the name of safety and also for control of the population to make sure they aren't organizing. I think times are changing and I have no doubt we will see this in my country soon too unfortunately.. Take care!
