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.
And this is why I get increasingly tired of the whole privacy-seeking endeavor. Jumping through hoops to get GrapheneOS+Linux working for me, with the sacrifices that come with it, only to have my government hand out my healthcare and biometric data to the US anyway. It’s all so tiresome.
That is state-sponsored terrorism. Fuck that, EU must be data-sovereign. And that also means not compromising on one's own data laws!
It seems like every time I seen news from the EU, it's about how they're frothing at the mouth to give up even more sovereignty to the US in exchange for literally nothing. Can someone living in the EU please explain what's going on?
EU politicians frequently have significant investments in US companies, betraying whatever little sovereignty is left lines their pockets
Massive investments from conservative US lobbies to european think tanks to control politics:

In other words corruption
Fuck no the Us shouldn't get this.
