Fortunately, fighting fascists is in the European bloodstream.

Never give a fascist an inch...

Good for them, because our damn leaders, I use that term loosely are giving our country to them.

Got to show the oligarch pricks that they are not invincible nor irreplaceable!

Do not fall for their brainwashing!!!

WE give them their power!
WE can also take it away!!

The move by the European Commission came despite threats from Trump to levy tariffs against countries which impose fines on U.S. companies.

Good. They're not cowing to the bully.

Last time everyone gave Donnie a little win, he gloated about how great he is, and then things went on mostly as normal.

Now he changes his mind every three seconds.

Nobody is safe from his tantrums anyway, so why bother giving him anything he wants?

I believe he's already doing that.

Both Google and Apple have been in the European Commission's crosshairs since March last year over concerns that they may not be complying with the Digital Markets Act, which aims to rein in the power of Big Tech via a list of do's and don'ts.

I’ve been saying this all along. Canada and Europe have started to set some limits on tech industries and the likes of Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are pissed. Therefore the animosity from the Trump Team.

EU is making sure the sell-out companies are getting what they deserve.

Yet this administration just fired @bedoyaftc.bsky.social who is currently prosecuting or hearing FTC cases involving Amazon, Musk, and the like. The EU is protecting their citizens. The U.S. is protecting oligarchs & rich corporations.

Hey pleased to meet you! I left that den of inequity a while back! It's much better here!

katharine-leigh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Much better - had I known, I would have switched months ago.

It's about time, and once upon a time, America could have been the leader on this important issue.
Old enough to remember when the gov't forced AT&T to split because it was a monopoly. America certainly *can* have regulatory control over the greed mongers.

Regulation by the EU highlights the lack of courage by our government leaders

Google, Apple, Facebook(Meta), all bought land in my nation to set up data centers. but my nation is a clean energy nation and therefore their power transfer to those data centers was rejected by our government as facebook alone would consume 15% of the entire nations energy. so they had to sell :D

wizarddk9000.bsky.social•1 day ago

they all use Dublin(Ireland) tax haven to run their companies in Europe and is why Europe have a difficult time bring them down as their HQ is in the unregulatory states of opression.
which is also what trumps golf resorts is doing and where rich like lewis hamilton parks their priv planes to save $

Lucky ducks. Must be nice. Meanwhile we’re living in animal farm. While reveal Orwell, I never wanted to be a NPC in his plot structure.

cubeunfold.bsky.social•4 days ago

Apple are they worst in some ways. They have a monopoly over its customers. Once you’re in their system, you’re trapped.

alworiginal.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes. Good. Do it. Force them to work for consumers and not their humongous profit margins. 👏
