Who said it had to do with the UK? The UK is part of Europe, and both the EU and UK have been introducing backdoor bills, the Online Safety Act and Chat Control respectively, and thus Europe as a whole has a political climate that is anti-freedom. So does the US, but Europe does, too.

My post that you responded to was specifically about the UK. You’re talking about someone being arrested in France. Your complaints about various pieces of legislation may be justified, but they’re not pertinent.

Did you forget that my first message, which you replied to, was specifically about Europe?

So you replied about the UK specifically. I catered to that, and then reconnected it back to Europe as a whole, which I was originally discussing.

If someone here is derailing the conversation, it isn't me. Especially now that we're discussing the meta and not even the original subject.
