EU actions have benefited us all in many ways, from GDPR to even things like forcing apple to adopt usb-c. Calling out disinformation isn’t a bad thing, maybe you should gtfo will this doomer talk

How did GDPR benefit “us all”?
lloram239@feddit.de 1 year ago
GDPR requires that you can export and delete your all personal data out from online services. Previously that was very rarely supported. Once GDPR came into effect everybody complied very quickly.
Polar@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Hate to break it to you, but most companies only comply if you’re in a GDPR country. Otherwise nothing has changed. That’s why it is far from benefiting “we”.

Privacy. Not important for you?
Meta had to rewrite their whole app, Threads, when it launched for the European market, because it couldn’t track everything you did, as it does in the US.
So it works really well.

Ya, European market. Hardly “us all”.

A hefty fine ? And an additional fine for every day they are not in compliance ? And maybe banning the app in EU ?
Let’s say EU has plenty of options to hurt a company.

Or a fine of 9% of global turnover, which isn’t small.
Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And it isn’t large enough, either.

This is revenue, not profit. It would be an incredibly high fine that most companies would struggle with. It’s incredibly impactful, and no company is brushing off this kind of legislature.
This grandstanding isn’t useful, this is a good thing and you’re blustering about to make this about your own grandstanding instead.

Still too low. 56% is fitting. Nationalize that misinformation shithole.

Tier 2 is removal from market. It is substantial.
