That is sad reality and consequences of no even small attempt to support defending bitcoin privacy tools and transactions in the EU.
US bitcoiners defend themselves but the European bitcoiners said they “don’t care” and “bitcoin doesn’t need defense”.
As bitcoin human right activists we defend our freedom tech & p2p tools in the EU. We described in detail the consequences: https://en.odfoundation.eu/a/726702,impact-of-the-eu-and-fatf-regulatory-frameworks-on-non-custodial-crypto-assets-wallets/
But it is impossible to get substantial results without mobilization of the eu bitcoiners as community and get things done: we need to bring more expertise, resources for advocacy, be vocal about social use cases in front of regulators and dedicate time for that. Nothing will be granted without effort.
