OK, then leave the EU. Bye!
It's about time we start investing in our own future.
he FCC chairman said Europe's regulations against US firms are "excessive" and "incompatible" with American values.
What values? Greed?
There are some extremely greedy Europeans no doubt. But the most of us pursue a happy life instead of a rich life.
He believes that these laws (...) are suppressing free speech in the EU.
These laws are there because companies feast on them illegally. Is this dude fit being the chairman of the FCC if he can't get that right?
It remains to be seen how the US administration will choose to defend Big Tech against the numerous lawsuits in the EU.
They can do exactly one thing: Nothing. The judicial branch of the EU is completely independent from the other branches, unlike the SCOTUS. Our judges don't care about what nonsense Trump is spouting.
What values? Greed?
Dow Jones.
What values? Greed?
Apparently, USA values run afoul of the "Western values" and "European values" I hear so widely touted by those people with Roman statue profile pictures.
Edit: /s
Fascism, that value.
Is this dude fit being the chairman of the FCC
Hahaha! A member of Drumpfโs cabinet that is fit for something! Good one!
Wow. Incompatible with what values?? Besides, that's utterly irrelevant; FCC has no authority in how business is conducted inside the EU.
The first amendment, apparently. The constitution DEFENDS my right to harvest data on millions of users and sell it! If that's not freedom, i don't know what is!
That power, to spy wholesale on the American public, is the source of a massive amount of wealth and, more importantly, power.
Our elites are never going to give it up.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better it's not just the US. The middle east is full of surveillance states, and now european countries want a piece of the pie and are now trying to surveil their population as much as possible.
It's a depressing truth, but there's some solidarity that our struggle is one.
Luckily, we have alternatives.
There is an entire ecosystem of software that specifically rejects corporate, centralized, ownership. Self-hosting, while not for everyone, lets you largely stay away from these platforms that are being used to spy on you.
I wonder if Protons cuck CEO still thinks the fascists will reign in big tech... Fuckin dumbass.
