Honestly, without these monopolies, yes it will suck for a bit but it would allow us to essentially rebuild the internet. It sounds exciting more than anything. If the EU blocks anything, thats a different story. The deal now is that companies are vaguely threatening to leave because they dont wanna deal with our laws.

Meta might as well ban the usage of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and of course the Meta Quest headsets from being used in the EU. Oh, and all Google products as well (maybe except YouTube). We are so close to a new tomorrow.
I guess EU citizens are just gonna move to Norway if they wanna use those services (I’d assume VPN usage would be blocked as well)

They would be replaced with locally created versions, with privacy in mind.
The useful ones at least.
