      I wonder why they aren’t taxed already. I am… They pay peanuts

      Not could, SHOULD.

      It’s the only appropriate response to further escalation and it hurts the right people, especially since the tech bros cheerfully backed Trump after he won the elections.

      Imho it ends up to be a bit silly with this well know cycle now of 1/regulations, 2/asking for fact checks, 3/fines, then 4/extra layer of taxes threats (based on profit).

      I would prefer by far: funds for new “social plateforms” owned by the EU, or at least an attempt to do it…

      IIRC there are still 10% tariffs. If he does not drop them, enact this.

      It’s not matter of „if”, dear Ursula. Just do it.

      Why not before, a lot of big companies are not paying their taxes but still making money here

      This should go ahead anyway. Americans should lot have this much control over European media

      “Could”, “may”, “might”, “if”… Enough! Time to be be more firm with the bully.

      Should’ve done this years ago.

      Also ban Google, META and YouTube to put subsidized server parks on our continent. Fuck them.

      What if the whole world followed suit with this strategy

      As an American, tax the fuck out of them. Stop waffling on tariffs too. Just keep them in place and make us suffer since dumb orange man wants to pump and dump the world economy. Maybe if everyone stopped giving in, he will finally lose supporters.

      Big Tech is increasingly proving to be a threat to democracy! It’s complicated… On one hand, it’s good that people have unrestricted access to social media. On the other hand, those behind Big Tech know the power they wield, and they’re starting to cross lines. At this rate, governments will soon be ruled by Big Tech! And that can’t be allowed to happen…

      Neat. Those companies can just raise the prices of their services to compensate since these services are incredibly sticky and hard to displace. What is the EU going to do? Replace Cisco/Microsoft/Google, etc? Okkkkk good luck with that.

      Meanwhile the US can just shut down Germany auto exports overnight.

      For the love of god just do it. They’ve been getting way with murder for far too long

      2. “could” – Nothing to see here, people, all talk, as usual.

      Every single headline you read is the EU “could” do this or “could” do that. When are we going to see less posturing and more action?
