Big Tech being caught with their hand in the cookie jar: Daddy Trump please bully the EU, they are mean to us!!!

Ban meta and co in Europe!

I hate that WhatsApp was so great and became the standard messenger, only to get swallowed up and steal all your data for the big Zuck.

They should force all large communication platforms to offer federation.
I must use Whatsapp, since everyone else is using it. Our company must use teams since customers are using it.

Bro, Europe isn't an autocracy. What is it you actually want?
-
No, but we absolutely should. Still, unilaterally.

Given his notable track record, if I were a Big Tech company, I would hope that he refrains from exercising his self-proclaimed "art of the deal" for fear of potential bankruptcy.

Lol, the Audacity to complain about "extraterritorial regulations that stifle their innovation"
Those morons should be banned until they comply and pay up or fined much much more the next time, for them thinking they stand above the laws of foreign sovereign states.

On Wednesday the first penalties came down under the act: €500 million against Apple and €200 million against Meta, along with significant requirements for both companies to change their business practices.
Note that these were the first penalties. More are likely. Not everything has been judged yet.
They can whine or call for their puppy or whatever, but it does not change their wrongdoings of the past.
Even if the EU would change their laws again NOW, it would not count for the past.

Trump might be capable of a brief hog-trot, but I can't imagine him swooping.
