Even if giants and fanboys hate it, countries can force them to implement tech solutions, even US does it (I think they forced companies to add the Unsubscribe things to the emails , I bet you did not like citizens forcing the programers implement the Unsubscribe, it is such a big work where you could have spend it sending even more spam and more tracking)
But we will see if Apple, Google ,Facebook will leave EU or will try to screw us over but in a different way.
- BoorishBears 5y agoI guess the off topic ranting just comes down to the fact the US owns the EU via tech and the military? Well since we implemented the unsubscribe things are looking shaky for FAANG, but not to worry, such wonderfully open and free regimes such as Russia and China will be happy to take over co-parenting the EU with Germany.
- simion314 5y agoMy point is that even if you don't like it, governments including US can force you to put shit in your code, so if some government will tell Microsoft to offer an open document format MS can say "No Thanks" and leave but it happened, MS did not leave. So again, we can force Apple to implement an API for messaging if they want to stay, you might not like it but it happened before and it is not like Apple is not sucking hard on US and China gov cocks already. At least this law is not like the ones that will affect their Store tax, that will hurt the Apple shareholders much more.
