I knew someone would point that out.

"other" in this case is shorthand for "not in EU".

The EU is not a country, yet it does stuff that otherwise countries do, like legislating and judicating privacy laws. The correct term would have been "other political entity" but what is the point of that word picking again?

Like any political entity the EU can do many things at once, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Different institutions also have different interests. The Commission isn't the primary driver behind chat control, a number of member states are. At the same time EU courts tend to be staunchly opposed to mass surveillance and in the European Parliament it depends on the party.

Current Commission is pushing for chatcontrol so they’d probably applaud LG’s practices.

Just because they want to spy on you doesn't mean they are okay with other organizations spying on you.
