What do you consider legal under GDPR? A lot of people think it's some kind of "revenge gun", but for what exactly? I wonder what people expected that would happen.
- adventured 8y agoHere's the program so far: EU targets Google, US then targets German automakers with emissions-gate, EU targets US tech companies with global revenue fines and data restrictions (Google + Facebook = $180b in revenue in the near future, an EU targeted pot of gold meant to be an offset for Ireland's tax policies). Next up: the US targets Germany's auto industry - a backbone to their economy - with tariffs or other import restrictions, seeking to damage BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen in any and all ways possible. Easy cover: Germany having the world's largest current account surplus, at 8% of GDP. Recourse after that: more restrictions, regulations, targeting of US tech giants in the EU, and tariffs on various US products. France says: Germany and its trade policies are a problem, seeks to reduce German dominance while trying to remain more neutral with the US: https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-says-german-surplus-hurts-europe/ https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-says-german-... It's going to be a very interesting year or two.
