Generally speaking the pursuit of creating "The European Union of Mistrust" isn't the way to go.
Sure, #governments have an urge for control in hypercomplex modern and chaotic #society. But just throwing #tech at it, is NOT the way, and will only backfire. Look only how much much 'safer' the world has become with all the advanced tech we already dumped into society, right?
If we want to build harmonious and peaceful societies that have the right conditions for #democracy to flourish, we better look at fostering social #cohesion between people. Focus on people's virtues, rather than assume vices in a distrust-first society.
"Distrust-first" is the environment of #hypercapitalism, where vices thrive and unfairly advantage people who wield them more.
#Trust is the currency that allows society to progress, and #trustworthiness is upon which it can stand.

A new framework, consisting of seven components, is proposed for evaluating the trustworthiness of scientific research. Some components have a quantitative basis but need criteria to be established; others are not so readily quantified or assessed.

Decent politicians would never do anything like this.
Half-decent politicians would step down if they were involved in anything like this.
Politicians, who are so petty and pathetic to resort to these kind of things and don't take any responsibility for it, will never ever represent you and work for your interests. You should never consider voting for them.
