In case you hadn't heard (I presume you have, us being on HN and all), there is some movement within the EU towards that end
- geysersam 4y agoBlatantly false. Completely unrealistic. Additional regulation towards privacy perhaps - affecting all similar (American, Chinese, European etc.) platforms. But not an outright ban.
