And that in today's political climate where e.g. in France if you swear against Macron you can be prosecuted [1] (or even arrested when at London [2]), or e.g. having a different opinion on covid measures labelled you an "anti-vaxxer that spreads disinformation" (when a little later the heads of EU where investigated for taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies) [3]?
Oh, the humanity!

Sure, mistakes were done during the COVID-19 pandemic, as could be expected in any serious crisis, there are corrupt politicians, and I agree that some questionable things are going on in France. Though, I doubt these hold in courts; they already backed out from the planned restrictions on the freedom of assembly. I urge you to take a look at what is happening in the Brexit land at this front.
Yeah, only with the political climate the DSA will be enforced in...
>Though, I doubt these hold in courts;
Doesn't matter as they can still be used by the police to harass and intimidate people. Getting arrested or just facing a legal battle and having to go through it is intimidating in itself, even if you end up winning the case.
(And such fines have held in court before)
