Europe Is in Danger of Regulating Its Tech Market Out of Existence (archive.ph)

This is what happens when you rely on American tech companies. Apple is pulling shit with Europe, the home of "civilisation", that feels like it's straight out of a stupid reality show over regulations regarding sideloading and privacy. And clowns like this will regurgigate the dumbest and the most worn-out libertarian shit in first tier media outlets.

Tbh I don't get the point behind GDPR. Is it genuinely meant to ensure privacy to some extent or is it just some form of protectionism against American tech companies?

This article from a Washington DC-based publication is doing its very best to frame as bad some extremely mild examples of the EU standing up to these largely unaccountable American megacorporations. It’s not like the EU is doing to Meta & Apple what the Americans are doing to Huawei & Bytedance/TikTok — but perhaps the EU should.
