The ever-so chauvinistic eurolibs that cried "Buy European" tech are in shambles rn. Or, perhaps they're busy at working coming up with a riveting explanation as to how this is a "good thing, actually" or "a minor setback" or "the work of Great Man X".

GDPR and other "privacy" initiatives and legislation in the EU were, are and will always be a scam sold to the working class and everyone knows it.
