~I want to let people deal with the consequences of their stupidity on their own.~

Those consequences affect a much much wider range of people, not just those who are stupid about it so it’s not about protecting them, it is about protecting everyone including the ones who can’t protect themselves.

OP is responding to your original question. If you’re asking if it safe to do it, then you are worried about the consequences of doing it and wonder if you should stop. That would mean that you are “obeying a rule before it exists”.

As to your current comment, you should understand that current “AI” solutions do not think anything. If the current solutions were used for mass surveillance, then they would be used to classify your actions in some predefined way and whomever is using them will use this classification in some (possibly nefarious) unknown way

There aren’t any borders in the Schengen area which is different to the EU.
