It's unreal how fast the EU is changing from an institution that used to protect citizens freedoms towards authoritarianism.
As I understand it there's been a radio silence on this from the Commission for the last 2 months. Follow developments here: https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/

Is it changing? Did people "go west" in rhe past because their freedoms were protected?

Yes, it's changed over the last 5 to 10 years. Before that, especially the EU parliament, but to a lesser degree even the Commission, were staunch supporters of civil liberties.
As to the "past" you seem to be referring to: there was no EU then, so kind of irrelevant. Also, people are migrating towards the EU today, not away from it.

It is relevant from the perspective that whether you have an EU or not, some people seem to want to leave it once again.
