What it really shows is that they have so little EU-originating readers/income that it doesn’t make economical sense spend thousands of dollars on evaluating compliance. And yes, the law is poorly written that even parsing it is a no

Try it before making such sure if yourself statements. In my experience it’s LESS boring to drive with autopilot and I pay MORE attention to the actually important, potentially dangerous, things like what’s coming up (you’re actively aware

It is incredibly naive to think they are apolitical. They are part of executive branch, their actions directly affect state budget.

You’re jumping to unwarranted conclusions. A more reasonable explanation is simply that the unpopular videos you watched triggered recommendations similar to them, and based only on them - and that being what you typically watch no your oth

The way it diverted from the trajectory you would take. It got off the expected path, or drivers a few km/h faster in a road arc that you would, that sort of thing raises alarm in the driver right away. A funny feeling like that, I’m

Did you drive with such a system? If you did, you would know there’s a HUGE difference between having to manage minutae (just keeping yourself in a lane is surprising amount of work) and being free to pay attention to your surroundings. You

No, that’s your back alley corner behind a dumpster in some backwater settlement in the middle of nowhere. TV never was how people talk to each other. Internet - and particularly the monopoly platforms like FB or YT - are the modern day s

You are confusing the moral concept of free speech with USA’s 1st amendment. The latter is only a narrow implementation of the former. Nobody hear argued this is unconstitutional in the US.

If the law relies on the regulator being in a good mood and be sensible, it is a badly written law. The law should give the regulator strict mantinels, not be subject to broad leeway in interpretation. Around here, regulators are prone to s

As a citizen of an EU country, I’d prefer to have the choice from as many companies as possible, and to decide myself whether I do or do not mind sharing my data with a company. This will reduce my choices. I also disagree with you that t

My mailbox (the physical one) disagrees with your claim. There are mechanisms to opt-out (at the cost of uglyfying my mailbox with highly visible label), but they are not banned .

Wrong. Even if I didn’t store anything besides absolutely necessary (does your product involve usernames or emails - bam, personal information ) and was absolutely above board, it would take me hours to respond to this.

The parliament gets to amend (and extremely rarely reject), but doesn’t make the policy - only the Comission does. That’s very unlike the traditional (“real”) democracy where the parliament is fully in charge of creating laws. The princ

Both of your examples share the same language and culture. Europe is much more diverse and that’s a huge barrier to functional politics and democracy on the federation level.

The parliament has a history of extremely rarely rejecting proposals - the patents one is ancient history. But normally, it’s just not done - tweaked, yes, outright rejected almost never.

MC debit cards are pretty common even in Germany (and are everywhere elsewhere in EU). Source: no PayPal/card ratio difference among my German customers compared to the rest of EU.

You need to read up on GDPR and what it really means. You’re probably as annoyed by those ever-present cookie banners everywhere. That’s a direct result of another poorly thought-out EU regulation with good privacy intentions behind it. EU

Exactly. To a large extent, I - a citizen of an EU country - can already see the effect. Just look at how many electronics companies don’t sell in EU. There’s a Swiss company making great routers that outright says it’s because of RoHS. And

Around here (Central Europe), it’s ALWAYS the case. Steam has Europe-wide pricing, local stores’ normal prices are often 40% lower on launch day.

Netflix is improving in some locales, but remains a shitshow elsewhere (experimentally: countries with under 40M population). E.g. there are German and Polish subtitles for everything; there are almost none for Czech. They do things like pr
