If a company is about to produce millions of physical products, I think it is quite ok if they first check with the government to see if that is a good idea.
Same with social media features that are rolled out to millions of users.
- warkdarrior 7mo agoThis is about Digital Services Act, not physical products.
- brookst 7mo agoIf the EU was prepared to give advance permission, that would make sense. It would be slow ("Hey we want to rename 'username' to 'login'" -> "we'll get back to you in a couple of months"), but it would make sense. But, if you'll re-read my comment, my complaint is that the EU will not pre-clear features. They will only punish after the fact if they decide it was a bad feature. And that's even assuming you're correct that the bureaucrats themselves know what is a good idea. Which I'm skeptical of. I think they're more likely to be correct than, say, Facebook... but that's a pretty low bar.
