Can Europeans say the same, or should they block Google and Facebook?
- justinclift 6y ago> ... or should they block Google and Facebook? Probably yes? :)
- joshgel 6y agoDon't we just end up with a balkanized internet? A Euro-net, US-net, China-net? I guess Canada goes in with Euro-net?
- justinclift 6y agoWell, what else do you suggest doing with companies literally damaging humanity? eg Facebook (easily qualifies), Google (somewhat)
- koheripbal 6y agoThis is already happening.
- drchopchop 6y agoEuropeans are free to say the same, or negotiate acceptable GDPR-style data protection standards with the countries that receive their data (which in many cases has already happened).
- abc-xyz 6y agoEU have already ordered Facebook (and others) to restrict data sent from EU to US. If US started banning EU tech companies (like China are doing) then it would of course make sense for EU to do the same to US tech companies. This is of course unlikely to happen as EU and US fairly operate in the free market.
- codedokode 6y agoOf course they should. Google and Facebook can be an invaluable source of intelligence information and threaten national security.
