Or what? A fucking slap on the wrist? GTFO with this.

Or a fine of 6% of global revenue, which isn't small.

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.

Ah yes, government run social media. Nothing could go wrong with that.

Well, it could good. But only if it's done right, like government run news channels in Denmark, then it would be amazing!

It works like this: News channels get money to bring news, but you can make news about everything. And yes, you can criticise the government all you want in these news, and it happens daily.

Then the news channel can't take any sponsorships what so ever. There's no owners, there's no lobbying. It's just news like it should be.

that would probably make it worse, every govenment i have ever seen does horrible with internet stuff.

They suck with everything and I wouldn't use it either way. I'd rather it be owned by my government than another one who likes to ally with known enemies who would like me to suffer/die.

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"?

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.
