And this is why he went full retard and started peddling to the conservatives. Dont like our rules? Then get out.

USA don’t make those kind of rules over here you fucking android and if Trump is going to introduce tariffs on us anyway then he really doesn’t have any leverage

It’s absolutely essential that we show these oligarchs that they can’t have their way here in Europe.

Why they complain to EU? When they crouch and kiss toes for China.

So that’s why he declared that Meta will now be spreading Trumpian propaganda, that’s what he wants in exchange.

Freedom of speech. Freedom of choosing not to follow laws. Freedom here and freedom there.
Rich USians want to do as they please a d they´ve found an ally in Trump.

He can leave the EU with his businesses. Take twitter along with him. Good riddance.

He should be fined for asking not to get fines

Let’s stop using US companies in the EU!
Ban Facebook and X.
Econ_Orc on
What to take from this is that EU regulates and USA does not.
So it is important that politicians in Europe does not end up being subsidized by USA campanies like they do in the US.

Didn’t he threaten EU Meta will cease operating here? So… what are you waiting?
Meta is literally a cancer of the internet.

We need to fine them, but people need to realize that now they have Trump to protect them. He will 100 % implement painful retaliation if we don’t allow the FB and X brainrot to be spread in Europe. Sad times when the US and Europe are at odds, but Trump treats the enemies of the US better than its allies.

This is absolutely unacceptable. We should just ban these platforms and weather the flack.

Funny how the US is currently trying to ban Tik-Tok because they are worried about Chinese propaganda and at the same time trying to force us to let US social media go unchecked

EU is not fining US tech companies. EU is holding companies operation within EU accountable to EU law.

First thing, Europe needs to catch up in tech and cut all dependency on non European tech. Second, keep fining all companies when they break the law.

This display of influence in the US government should be alarming and push our politicians towards a stronger, more united, more independent EU.
But I have a better idea. What if we allow our right wing and far right politicians to get millions of euros under the table from American corporations and to distract the public with agendas like immigration or silly trump wanting to buy Greenland so these corporations can cement even harder their monopolies and strengthen their grip on European citizens and culture????
Fit-Courage-8170 on
Lads, seriously, screw this bollocks . Europe should follow US and block TikTok, and also add Twitter. And put Zuck on notice.
It’s plainly obvious now how the concentration of power and extremist enabling business models of these companies is detrimental to society. It’s been obvious for years.
I know you’ll have entire industries that will complain because they’re so reliant on these platforms but necessity is the mother of invention. We can’t keep appeasing the monster.

F you, Zuck. Europe should fine US companies harder now.

If European companies have to abide by US laws and face US fines and penalties for breaking them, American companies have to abide by European laws and face European fines and penalties for breaking them. Simple as. If you don’t want to be bothered, kindly fuck off.

I mean if you dont want to pay fines for breaking the rules… why not just stop breaking the rules?

It really shines a light on Europe’s failure to build our own tech infrastructure. For a decade and a half now we have been selling our data and private lives in exchange for social media dopamine.
We desperately need our own tech infrastructure and companies that reflect our own values.
