European Commission's disdain for rule of law gets demonstrated once again. First with Schrems I, Schrems II cases, where the commission kept editing documents struck down by CJEU by couple sentences only for the same document (but renamed) to be struck down once again, then now. See Safe Harbor, EU-US Privacy Shield and the "new" TADPF.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoIs it a coincidence that all of these issues seem to be related to the United States? You don’t see this kind of treatment even for domestic issues, let alone third countries. US is kind of above the law on most issues.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoI think it’s more like ‘we don’t have a European MS365 or AWS, so our companies and governments are over-indexed on American software, therefore we have to go along with the Americans or we cripple our digital infrastructure’
- miohtama 3y agoDon't worry. This will be fixed with one more regulation.
- marcosdumay 3y agoWhat means the US companies are above the law. That's not as pragmatic a statement as people try to make it. So, also, I don't really believe the feeling is completely honest instead of driven by propaganda.

- pembrook 3y agoTurns out it’s kind of hard to tell the US to eff off when the peaceful existence of your entire region relies on the US military. And there’s no alternative. When left to build their own strong domestic militaries, the Europeans tend to quickly start conquering each other. See history. If you give the middle finger to the US a little too much, bye bye NATO, and then we see how fun Europe gets when regular programming resumes.
- ClumsyPilot 3y ago> If you give the middle finger to the US a little too much Is asking US to comply with the law is offensive, as in giving the middle finger? American exceptionalism is truly exceptional.
- shortsunblack 3y agoNATO is one-sided alliance in favor of US. It literally makes so that American weapons manufacturers are preferenced over domestic military industry, which now is more or less dead. Europe used to have lots of successful weapons manufacturers. Now NATO is standardized against American industry.
