It's an opinion article, but I heavily agree with it. It's really sad that technical decisions are made by chimps who can't tell the difference between a computer and internet.

First it was Chat Control, and the US was flirting with it's KOSA reform, now with elDAS 2.0 this all seems like global whac-a-mole for privacy. I read that elDAS was subject to approval behind closed doors in Brussels on November 8, What happened?

No idea about what happened behind the closed doors, if anything; but I feel like compiling your browser with a patchset that removes the restriction on CA removal is going to become a thing. Good thing I'm on Gentoo already.

Could you link to this? I didn't know such a patch-set existed

Oh, it doesn't - the restriction is not in place to begin with. But it will definitely happen if this is to go through.
