When they are pushing a BS like this without a reason, I assume they want to let autocrats spy on journalists. That's about the only thing this achieves.

You mean autocratic governments such as Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and Spain?

Yup. They still have their own corrupt spying on journalists and politicians in the opposition. Then there's a scandal when it comes to the limelight, it gets a bunch of press coverage and then there's nothing done about it. Maybe some court case that gets archived. This would make it easier.
