There’s a rule banning “self-preferencing.” That’s when platforms push their often inferior, in-house products and hide superior products made by their rivals

Wow, I can see Microsoft fighting this one tooth and nail. It's basically their whole business model

Continue the good work, EU. You obviously hit a nerve, so you know you're on the right track.

When the Parasite Class objects so vehemently to something that is impacting their obscene profits and sociopathic control, you know that something is being done correctly.

I’m swiss and not a EU fan, but I’m really proud of how they are standing up and facing these huge companies.

We’ve clearly reached a point where these companies need to see that they can’t do everything they want.

Let’s fight for reparability, interoperability and privacy!

Me to Big Tech: "Drop Dead"

The Internet is a perfect example of why we can't have nice things, or rather, why anarchy could never work.

That's what the Internet used to be, and what it largely is. And it worked quite well, until people realized the Internet could be monetized beyond just being an extension of your brand.

Now it's quite obvious that regulation is necessary. People are idiots and they can't be trusted with a dopamine-injection-button run by greedy corporations. That gives those companies really unprecedented power.

I hope the EU retaliates in an incredible show of force
