Because European governments are passing/have passed regulations forcing big tech companies to open up their platforms.
(it’s also taking funding from the EU, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re forced to cater only to EU citizens but the combination of these two factors means it makes sense to)

- afavour 2y agoThat's a pretty reductive take. Is the European Court of Human Rights "More Euro governance, bleh"?
- its_ethan 2y agoI'm not gonna claim to know much at all about the ECHR, but this compliance graph from Wikipedia makes it look like a symbolic institution, but one that is largely ignored/ not really respected? Especially given that it's a declining trend, it seems like they may just be doing more and more political theater type stuff instead of "real" work. Anyway, it seems like it could somewhat reasonably fall under "governance bleh" depending on who you ask. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Compliance_with_all_compliance-relevant_judgments_of_the_European_Court_of_Human_Rights_as_of_10_March_2017.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Compliance_with_all_compl...
