The US came very close to passing similar legislation recently and it still could. This bill had bipartisan support. Apple was able to kill it using relationships with leadership, but the votes were there. My organization Fight for the Future worked on lobbying for this, and while it's super difficult to pass legislation over big company opposition, it's not impossible. We can have similar rules in the US if we keep pushing.

- genter 3y ago> Democrat Dianne Feinstein expressed concern that the legislation would disproportionately impact Apple and Google How did I know that she was the one opposing it? I'm not glad she's dead, but I am glad she isn't on the Senate any more.
