Sensationalist title and also misleading.

Most articles I can find on this say the US FCC already has laws in place that ban this, so why is the title blaming Europe for doing what the FCC has already done in the US?

So every time an American agency does something shitty it's also acceptable for a European agency to do the same? Is our moral standard based on the lowest common denominator?

When a headline says "Out-group X is doing BAD THING" when the in-group has already done "BAD THING" it seems reasonable to assume it's an attempt to leverage peoples irrational bias against out-groups.

The title is not misleading at all.

And yes, you should blame EU for even considering it. Just because other people kill doesn't mean that we shouldn't blame people who also kill.
