If you cut the access to american social media for 3 months, we’ll see amazing and interesting things happen here in Europe.

They export over 400 billion a year in IT services, why would they cut that off?
Trump is a muppet but he is also controlled by tech billionaires. They won’t allow it.

Then EU develops their own internet, even better internet, our own social networks, search engines, and America implodes from inside out. EU market in collab with Asia flourishes… new auroasian alliance is created, and Trump can suck our dick.

By all means ! Please do it ! The technology itself would be easy to replicate, the network still exists. An internet with only european content and platforms … I’m in !

It is nice to know that there is no inner circle secret society controlling the government and if there is, they are weaker than anyone could have anticipated.
There is no way in hell that Microsoft, Apple, Google, American infrastructure are supporting or endorsing this move because they are losing market shares and trillions in European revenue over the next decades.
Oh wait M, A, G, A… Wait what’s happening. Why would the tech giants want to cut off their European customers? It doesn’t make sense.
Something really weird is happening. If the tech giants are in on it, they are trying to win the markets by cutting off their own hands and feet, which seems counterproductive. Some 7D chess move or absolute stupidity.
Anyways, it does seem that it has been proved that there is no inner circle, just a mafia platform from which the edicts are thrown at whims and will. I simply cannot find a conspiracy theory that fits. Weak.

E.U should just ban all social media and be done with them!
But they realize they are the best way to spy on their people…so nothing is going to change!

And? We’ll simply go out more again and find other hobbies. We’d probably talk to our neighbours more again too.
Only sounds like a win to me.

No more depressing news from the US actively collapsing its democracy? Big plus!
No more Steam games? Well shit.

So many commenters seem to suggest the internet is only used for looking at porn, memes and reels. They seem to be projecting their own poor usage habits onto a whole world of people and businesses that rely on internet for more. Enough with the “everyone will talk to their neighbors again!” cliche. Most of us already are and the internet wasn’t stopping that.
