I would hardly call this trumpficication. That is reading left/right politics on people's deamand for action on a complex issue to something irrelevent.
The closest you can even make a comparator here is that it's a loss of freedom from the whole vs from a very large "minority". Please don't view all politics through the same lense or else you end up worse than those you seek to condemn.
This is more akin to the fact that US military police the bases in the UK for internet tapping and UK military in the US to justify that we're both spying on each-others citizens which makes it "OK".
It's populism - "here's a terrible complex problem, but it's ok, we have a simple solution that you can understand!"
It doesn't matter that the complex problem doesn't actually have a simple solution, and that the simple solution won't solve it, and worse, will end up in overreach.
The EC is not a simple solution to a problem, neither is intercepting all internet traffic a simple, popular, or proven effective solution for anything. Other than invading people's privacy post arrest.
