Don’t worry, the EU would never let this happen…

They’ll do what Russia does with their online services. Have a registration scheme with noncompliant VPNs being outright banned.

Simple when you know which dictator to copy.

That seems the most sensible way of doing things. Apple probably doesn’t want that outcome though because then they’ll be liable for the implementation rather than, for example, the social networks or websites.

Always gotta be thinking about the Apple shareholders.

Well we look forward to the democrats being an effective opposition. Oh wait… 🫠

Don’t worry about it! The Democrats will oppose this and get it kicked out for being un American. And if they don’t succeed then all you have to do is wait until they get back into office and they’ll executive order it straight outta town in an instant…

Right?

and maybe that the US isn’t the greatest country in the world in all fields.

I think that’s why they want our “high value data fields”… ☺️

Wut?

Stay strong EU. You show these Americans!

Altman finds a way…

Is this the guy that did a Nazi salute at your President’s inauguration?

Ooops too late

I’m not sure why Google just doesn’t track who opts out of Play Store protections to side load and then refuse to support anything further. Power users will be happy, they’re power users. Grannies have been warned. Where’s the problem?

Block by default, opt out of blocking explicitly. Give users that choice. If I want to riddle my phone with viruses and bitcoin miners that’s my problem.

How will they appeal to bigots and racists to win votes? They’ll actually have to visit their homes.

I don’t think these companies give a shit 😥. If it means US companies fall behind the White House is going to aide with these companies and allow it. Or hostilely take over your company like they’re doing with Tiktok.

Mich easier to just write a cheque of money money to Elon. I hear he likes taking public money 💰💰💰.

Don’t you want to put on some of this thermal paste?

Where this is going, baby, you don’t need no thermal paste!

Unfortunately they’re the royal family and it would upset a lot of people if they were sent away.

“late” breaking news 😜

Come on now, Google is just a business trying to make ends meet. All the starving, dying Palestinians in an open air concentration camp have to do is spend $45 million on a counter advertising campaign. Like… Duh.
