Dear EU, please pull the plug of TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram… the world would be better without these shitholes. We were fine before these existed, and we will survive without them. Greetings from Portugal, EU
Hahahahahaah in your dreams. Politicians can be bought.
With depression, from United Kingdom, EU wannabe
start with yourself, delete your aforementioned accounts.
never had and of this bullshit, never needed it.
Your shot missed the target. I never had an account on any of those shitholes, either.
9 people think they won’t be fine without social media, now you see it’s a huge problem, lol. Poor souls…
Let’s just ban what we don’t like, good idea
Send it
What?
SEND IT
Idk what you’re talking about
Gaza has the same amount of time to evacuate a million people as TikTok’s lawyers have to respond to Europe’s email.
This is day 4 of this article being posted.
I was about to say, the U.S. main news sources are filled with misinformation on this conflict. Please sue us.
There’s a reason Fox News is not operating in EU.
Hope they can get a big fine, because these companies won’t do anything about it, when its a small amount 🤏
They allowed misinformation and propaganda because the foreign money & connection is too good.

I am interested how is misinformation defined here?
Wait. Wasn’t Glenn battered to death?
Or what? A fucking slap on the wrist? GTFO with this.
Or a fine of 6% of global revenue, which isn’t small.
And it isn’t large enough, either.
This is revenue, not profit. It would be an incredibly high fine that most companies would struggle with. It’s incredibly impactful, and no company is brushing off this kind of legislature.
This grandstanding isn’t useful, this is a good thing and you’re blustering about to make this about your own grandstanding instead.
Still too low. 56% is fitting. Nationalize that misinformation shithole.
Ah yes, government run social media. Nothing could go wrong with that.
Well, it could good. But only if it’s done right, like government run news channels in Denmark, then it would be amazing!
It works like this: News channels get money to bring news, but you can make news about everything. And yes, you can criticise the government all you want in these news, and it happens daily.
Then the news channel can’t take any sponsorships what so ever. There’s no owners, there’s no lobbying. It’s just news like it should be.
that would probably make it worse, every govenment i have ever seen does horrible with internet stuff.
They suck with everything and I wouldn’t use it either way. I’d rather it be owned by my government than another one who likes to ally with known enemies who would like me to suffer/die.
Tier 2 is removal from market. It is substantial.
EU actions have benefited us all in many ways, from GDPR to even things like forcing apple to adopt usb-c. Calling out disinformation isn’t a bad thing, maybe you should gtfo will this doomer talk
How did GDPR benefit “us all”?
GDPR requires that you can export and delete your all personal data out from online services. Previously that was very rarely supported. Once GDPR came into effect everybody complied very quickly.
Hate to break it to you, but most companies only comply if you’re in a GDPR country. Otherwise nothing has changed. That’s why it is far from benefiting “us all”.
Not really, as it forces them to have the processes working, which is half of the battle
I mean you can export and delete your Facebook or Google data outside of Europe, so GDPR is a win
GDPR applies to citizenship, not the country where you’re in.
Great. So again, not benefiting “us all”.
When you request for data or your account to be deleted, on which services are you first inquired for your citizenship?
Privacy. Not important for you?
Meta had to rewrite their whole app, Threads, when it launched for the European market, because it couldn’t track everything you did, as it does in the US.
So it works really well.
Ya, European market. Hardly “us all”.
A hefty fine ? And an additional fine for every day they are not in compliance ? And maybe banning the app in EU ?
Let’s say EU has plenty of options to hurt a company.
