European digital regulation comes under attack from Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg

You can be certain that if you're upsetting Trump, Musk, and Zuckerberg, whatever you're doing is making the world a better place.

The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault

Oh please. These pissbaby techbros wouldn't be crying so much if they weren't hit where it hurts. It usually takes a while for the wheels of EU bureaucracy to turn, but the following blow is all the harder for it.

As someone who is very happy to live in the EU and proud of what it has achieved so far, I can say: Fuck you Trump and your appendant ulcers!

Maybe EU should just take a page from US playbook and ban these services due to national security concerns.

I mean Musk is clearly trying to influence European politics with fake news, half truths and downright lies. Not all that different from Kremlins troll factories.

They can respectfully choke on my massive GDPR

Of look. Here's my zero fucks.

If there was a GPS for doing the right thing, annoying the Cheeto, Elmo and Zuckershit would be waypoints in all of the offered route alternatives.

I forget the name of it but there is a little known agreement that means digital services aren't taxed. Example, I can offshore workers who connect to a server in the EU and performs work.

It covers things like Netflix streaming to EU customers without Netflix being taxed.

If you think about it this is a little odd. After all, goods are taxed when imported, why not digital services?

The EU is often criticised for having no digital leader. Switching that tax free hose off might resolve that.

For fascists, there must always be a target.

Generally oligarchs can dot his to their own countries because they buy off the regime whores...

Do these parasites expect EU regime whores to do their bidding for free?

Bring back public spanking as a punishment.

Lots of commentators seem to be under the impression that the EU is going to stand up against the US and Big Tech. My impression is the exact opposite; they are going to roll over. The EU is pretty good at throwing its weight around in areas where the US is not paying attention and doesn't feel its interests are at stake. But in areas where the US wants to elbow the EU out of the way, it does so pretty effortlessly, and Brussels just looks embarrassed and tries to forget anything happened.

Surprised pikachu face.
