I want Amazon and Google to get pushed out of the EU. It'd be hilarious to me, and better for the world writ large. Also, GRPC is a Google framework. Did you mean GDPR?
I think the GDPR is a great thing. I think Google is bad. That doesn't change the fact that Google will continue to make substantially more money off of the EU than the measly fines they've been given by the EU so far: there's no incentive for them to be a good actor. They've been fined barely a few billion in fines, despite repeatedly violating the GDPR.
I want the EU to start migrating their countries away from Google, but instead they're depending on it more and more and giving it slaps on the wrist whenever they do something bad that they admit to.

- kick 7y agoI'm aware it won't happen. Wants don't always reflect plausible circumstances.
- shadowgovt 7y agoI remember historically, Amazon found the amount of fines they were willing to pay in France quite high for the privilege of continuing to flaunt the bookseller's guild laws.
