Holy hell that would be glorious to revoke protection of intellectual property of Big Tech.
Would make european companies probably loose IP in the US. IP would just be local and not mean much anymore. I think there's other better responses
We absolutely should.
Focus on our development as a community rather than feeding the giant US corps.
oh yes 🤞 ban of X and Discord, ban of X and Discord, ban of X and Discord 🤞
X would hit really hard, but Discord? I don't see it.
Hey, do Facebook too!
What's the deal with discord? I live under a rock
discord is a US company owned by Tencent a chinese company. A leak happened a few years ago of the contract between both of them. It gives Tencent and CCP full access to user datas including private messages... So you ban Discord in Europe, you hit both US and China :)
