Meta just asking to be fined in the EU.
Luckily for Zuckerberg, then, Meta isn’t unfairly punished. It’s going to be punished quite fairly.
What a fucking man child.
I’m still having hard time processing that these are the kind of fuckers that the world has to bend its knees too. These billionaires are fucking parasites to all and need to go straight to the guillotine.
What a bitch.
Holy cow Zucky literally calls him Big Daddy
EU should block Meta full stop.
God, what a bright, glorious day that would be.
EU should ban Meta like the US is banning Tiktok
You mean that if the bribe is interesting enough, the timeline can be arranged?
Time for anyone who doesn’t live within the USA to dump all USA tech. No need to “go after” governments, if the people in those countries simply do not use any USA companies. We do not need META (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp), Musk (SpaceX, Twitter, Neuralink, SolarCity, Tesla), Bezos (Amazon, Whole Foods, Washington Post, Audible, IMDb, MGM,Twitch, Ring, Alexa), etc.
This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.
I’m thinking Mark needs the EU more than they need him…
Yeah if they shut out Facebook I’m willing to bet a properly funded EU-based company could fairly quickly build up similar infrastructure. /srs
Pushing an open-source alternative like Friendica would be ideal but either way the globally anti-competitive nature of giant social corporations has gone on too long; a breaking point for innovation is overdue.
Given that the EU has accounts on Mastodon, why not check all the list and make every government in the EU have their own AP servers? Not only Mastodon but Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube, …
That’s literally a threat to their sovereignty.
They should say “fuck that”, block Meta, and seize all his European assets until he falls in line.
The EU is way too liberal to seize his assets. This will never happen. They’ll gladly bow down to the US hegemony and the US fascist regime before they lift a finger. We’ll just hear a bunch of strong words of condemnation (if we even hear anything at all lol) and that’s about it.
Meta is the Karen of tech companies.
Tbh I’d bet most dairy farmers are pretty solid fighters.
Most dairy farmers are obese old guys.
The ones I know are all in pretty good shape for their ages.
Wrong! I win!
Correct answer would have been “How appropriate. You fight like a cow!”
Soon you’ll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab.
First you’d better stop waving it like a feather duster!
Do they realize the EU is a foreign group of countries, with separate legislation and autonomous power?
Literally no. They can not wrap their heads around the idea that other people have agency.
I assume they expect them to cower to political/economic threats. Which they may do.
Or not. Thinga are getting heated and there are people losing patience with these extremists.
But probably they will, sadly.
We will have to wait and see. And press matters against politians, if things start to go awry.
God these tech billionaires have such thin skin. Bunch of whiney bitch boys, the lot of 'em!
