The flamebait tone is unnecessary and is against the spirit of discussion here at HN as well as the rules, I'd kindly ask you to chill it a bit here.
This isn't legislation that exists, this is me suggesting they should pass legislation, which is obvious from the ordinary context of my comment.
Feels bad-faith but to give you the benefit of the doubt, if you are asking me to provide a track record of the EU's previous pro-consumer legislation, some examples would be phone connector/cable standardization, charger standardization, mandatory warranties, etc.

Not OP, but I imagine your tone was likely a contributing factor to their response. >> Welcome to governments that are actually responsive to protecting their citizens. .. >> Yeah bullshit. Mandatory binding arbitration in your contract of adhesion? Arbitrate on deez nuts. >> The US is completely obscene by the standards of the rest of the developed world.
