I giganti della tecnologia sono vittime di “molestie” da parte dei regolatori irlandesi e dell’UE, sostiene il comitato del Congresso americano

It’s like the thief used to rob without any punishment who goes to another country, tries to do the same and moans about being harassed when the police tell him to abide by the rules.

Lmao, this reads like they are raving mad their efforts in influencing European elections are not working as well as they were hoping they would.

By “harassment” they mean, the outrageous idea that US companies operating in the EU would have comply with EU and national legislation.

Awww, are the immoral, multi-billion dollar corporate entities not happy being forced to follow the law? Let me play a sad song for you on my invisible violin 

EU citizens are victims of harassment from tech giants. There I fixed the title.

Blablabla stfu US-whatever

And it happens barely a few hours after the French raided X headquarters in Paris

That’s the type of harassment I’m happy to support.

For the love of God, won’t *somebody* think about the poor harassed tech giants!

No they are being held to a community standard their communities value. America does NOT supersede other countries community values under ANY circumstance.

“Won’t somebody please think of the billionaires?”

Every business has a responsibility to the public to ensure its products do not cause harm. For far too long, we have allowed technology companies to exploit systems designed for fair use. They do not pay an appropriate level of taxes, they do too little to protect vulnerable users, and they generate enormous profits from advertising and personal data that is often collected without meaningful consent. It is time for them to be brought into line, regulated like any other industry, and held accountable for their failures.

We cannot continue to allow these platforms to destabilize our society with toxic content. Imagine the internet as a physical store you walk into. Picture the person at the door welcoming you inside. Instead of protection, it would resemble a plastic police officer waving millions of children through to view material meant only for adults. Inside, stalking, harassment, and verbal abuse would be tolerated. Misinformation would be rewarded, profits taken from the public, and responsibility carefully avoided.

Enough is enough. The internet must be regulated and safer platforms must be created. This is achievable. It is not impossible. Some would have you believe that regulation is the problem, but the real issue is the absence of effective oversight in these spaces.

This is the world’s smallest violin, playing the worlds saddest song, just for you tech giants.

US multinationals being harassed by our (Irish) regulators? I’d pay good money to see that happen – €13 billion, to be exact.

Tech giants bought the US gov to harass EU

I guess they would be the experts on harassing citizens, wouldn’t they

Obey the law or fuck off. It’s not hard.

Yeah, it’s all the same stupid BS they keep on trying to pull on the US and succeeded with ass kissers like zuckeberg and elmo, both afraid they’d lose their monopolies. Automated censoring of posts was attempted long time ago on social media but the right wing didn’t like it and didn’t go through because all their stupid posts were flagged as lies, misinformation, racism, etc… like this one

Balderdash!

Can’t they just leave then?

Oh Congress is still a thing is it?

How about the get their own house in order before telling us what we should and shouldn’t do?
