Comment on Open Letter: "The European Union must keep funding free software"

GDPR, Digital Market Act, the USB C law for e-waste and regulations like those are the one I’m talking about.
And then also what this article is about.

It’s the same thing. Which I’m calling “acting defensively”.

I don’t think I get what you mean, when I only named consumer rights against companies and eco friendly laws?
Can you specify why it’s bad and who the EU is trying to hurt with this?

Work on your reading comprehension if you intend to pretend to act in good faith like this

They don’t protect my privacy because they have a disadvantage though. That’s not at all what the GDPR is all about. Same for the other laws.

GDPR etc. are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to EU regulations. Plenty of them apply to stuff where the EU is world-leading, also very far-reaching one. Compared to REACH, GDPR is quite low-impact indeed.

That’s not the relation I meant. Rather having a long-term strategy because, compared to Russia and USA and anyone around, time works for the EU.
