Why?
Trump sees appeasement as weakness that can be exploited. Give the man an inch and he will consider the entire light-year his by divine birthright. Appeasing Trump is only viewed as weakness to him and will only cause him to come after you harder until he gets everything.
These companies (Meta, Google, Apple) will all completely ignore whatever mandates EU hands down, especially if they know they can just hide behind Trump to avoid further actions.
The EU as a regulating body will become weaker as a result, viewed as a paper tiger unwilling to stand up to the US.
This is why Trump keeps winning. Because everybody else folds at the first whiff of pressure.
Im in Europe and I was listening to the news today. Appearently Europe is trying to put up a defence force against Russia but they said they are not doing it without USA.
Good luck Europe.
Pussies.
If you want to attack the US, and you really should be treating us with hostility right now, without firing a shot you need to go after our most influential billionaires (Zuch, Bezos, Musk).
And they’ll be attacked anyway. America’s only ally is Russia now.
Fucking EU cowards…
The US Mafia Rule under Don Mangolini seems to be working as intended.
🙄 🤡 🖕
The EU has been going easy on US tech giants for decades, the causality the title implies is complete bullshit.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love if they went much, much harder.
Also, X is not mentioned? I hope that’s a good sign (as in, EU will go easy on Apple & Facebook, but not on X).
