Alternatively, we, in the EU could just… Stop using Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok or whatever being used to harvest our data?
Add WhatsApp to the list
Hell, Whatsapp may be the worst of them all.
And unfortunately, hard to move away from because so many people are using it and it’s hard to push other people to change. I’ve heard of a bill being discussed to force WhatsApp to become interoperable with other messaging platforms that use similar protocols, like Signal. I have WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram, but rarely use the other two because most people I know don’t. The minute interoperability happens I’m ditching WhatsApp, but I’m sure the Zuck will do all it can to prevent it…
Can Canada get on board with that too
Can the U.S. also…, oh goddamnit
The EU should double the fine because of this lobbying.
If these companies aren’t subject to EU fines then I don’t see why they should be allowed to operate in the EU
Could someone tell him that Trump is not the president of the EU? Not our circus not our fascists.
Am I allowed to say that I trust US Big Tech Corps more than my government and my police officers? Meta still is more ethical (even with the DEI programs cutoff and all the rest) than some corrupt governments.
You’re allowed to say it, even believe it. But your analysis is faulty. Please add a little context and youll see why. Trust to do what? Corrupt with what goals? It seems you have no idea…
I live in a country with an oppressive government who discriminates people based on race, religion, sexual orientation and already blatantly favours the wealthy with total impunity. Nothing can be worse than this.
How exactly would Trump stop that? He doesn’t even know.
Tariffs.
Trump’s answer to everything is tariffs - i.e. punishing Americans for buying products from countries he doesn’t like.
