I think a lot of this discussion, ignores geopolitics.
If the EU really causes serious pain to the likes of Facebook/Google all that money spent on lobbying will come into play. Especially now, the US holds a lot of cards with respect to the EU, especially Germany.
My guess is that this issue will resolve with an agreement with some cosmetic changes, but will still, in actuality, allow the US to get at the data it wants.
- nivenkos 4y agoYeah, the EU has pretty much no competing companies unlike Russia + China. And it is now completely reliant on the US for LNG imports, meanwhile the Euro is collapsing since it has to be sold en masse for USD for those imports, and also for Rubles for Russian gas now that Russia only accepts Ruble payments. Turkey is also on the verge of complete collapse and is currently holding over ten million refugees for the EU. This winter through next spring looks like it will be a complete disaster.
