I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won’t do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I’ll join X 😬 & pay his subscription for a year. 👀

    Add end to end encryption to the mix. They’ve been doing so well until they messed with that.

      They haven’t messed with it yet. The EU’s a democracy and we can still influence its course.

      Thing about that one is that the whole scanning thing will extremely likely get overturned by the courts and thus this whole thing would collapse. If they ever get a majority at all.

    I realised something. If all of these big tech firms collectively banded together and left the EU market in joint protest towards their regulations, how quickly would these countries go into civil unrest?

    Social media addiction is no joke…
