I haven't actually looked at the numbers but my impression is that all those attempts are coming from people from the more developed and less corrupt northern countries. Maybe from their perspective you can trust the state to do the right thing %100 of the time? I don't know if that's the case but whoever is coming up with these must be living under the rock because anyone following what's happening the last few years and especially the last few weeks must be terrified of giving too much information to the state because in fact the developments in the USA show us that the state can be captured and data can be accessed by people outside of the legal frameworks. Even if your state is perfect, your mortal enemy can indeed take over and have access to these tools to do god knows what.
I expect this attempt to fail like all previous attempts as there are enough people with sense in the EU.
