Does anyone know anything about this? It sounds like someone's over-reacting a bit.
Right now, Europe and the USA are negotiating a huge corporate power grab affecting literally millions of European and American citizens.
The Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership (or TTIP) is called a "trade treaty". But if agreed, the TTIP would actually hand corporations the power to overturn democratically decided laws, on everything from environmental protections to food safety, through a system of secret courts that only corporations would have access to.

This sounds like a very serious matter. There must be something in the story to get SomeOfUs involved.

The EU are very fond of their rules and regulations.
I can't see them giving them away.

I f*cking hope not - there are too many folks restricting and/or eroding our freedoms as it is now without letting the greedy 1% decide.
