Here is an Israel Times article from the 28th that seems to prove that to be untrue for electricity (but true for water although severely reduced). Could you source that statement? https://www.timesofisrael.com/amid-concern-

> The new EU stuff is opt-in. That’s quite absurd, no? "You can pick which terms you want, the ones where we follow the law, or the ones where we don’t. If you pick the ones where we don’t, it’s cheaper for you."

Apple isn’t forced to do business here, I much rather have large corporations that engage in rent seeking behaviour paying the costs.

Not 0.1%, you are off by a factor 1000. Their GDP is 20b not 20m. Would still be relatively more costly but a lot less extreme.

Can anyone tell me if this is a realistic thing to worry about when thinking about state surveillance, i.e. van the US use this to track phones in other countries? Edit: I know very little about 5G and satellite tech, but love to learn more
