This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Do it, fuck up Twitter, Amazon, meta, and everyone else that shared a stage with trump.
The only language they know is $, if trump is bad for their money, they'll go against trump.
These are people obsessed with wealth over every thing else, it's not hard to manipulate them, but when rational adults regain power, we need to tax the ever loving shit out of them because no matter what happens, they'll always choose "more money".
lol holy shit do it. DO IT. This will utterly FUCK the profit model of more things than I can quickly explain
Let's just hope they move fast and aren't afraid to break things.
Good on you EU! I think a majority of the world would like to see Big Tech brought down a couple hundred pegs.
All it takes is a critical mass of users to make their own Facebook. A continental divide seems like a good place.
This isn't as much about the social media platforms, competing with those is relatively feasible. This is more about the professional infrastructure market. Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. There isn't really a European competitor there, the US dominates this market. We have a huge trade deficit on these services, which Trump "conveniently" didn't include in his trade war analysis.
When America sends their users, they're not sending their best. They're sending trolls, shitposters, influencers. They're bringing Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones. And some, I assume, are good users.
Edit: The original quote (about Mexicans) is from 2015. Feel old yet?
ahh... I was wondering when people were going to start talking about Tariffs in relation to streaming services and purchasing software...
You're thinking too small. Think of taxes on Enterprise software.
Sounds like a good idea, hit them where it hurts! I left Big Tech a while ago, but if the EU can hit them with tariffs and hurt people like Zuck and (F)Elon, awesome!
