It’s like the thief used to rob without any punishment who goes to another country, tries to do the same and moans about being harassed when the police tell him to abide by the rules.
Ireland should kindly tell US Congress to start taking care of the US own problems. Like a president acting like a dictator and federal agencies run by lunatics and murdering people on the streets.
lol
Lmao, this reads like they are raving mad their efforts in influencing European elections are not working as well as they were hoping they would.
Awww… I hope US can provide them psychotherapists to work on the deep mental trauma we are causing.
By „harassment“ they mean, the outrageous idea that US companies operating in the EU would have comply with EU and national legislation.
These poor multi-trillion dollar companies… What will they tell to the shareholders?
Awww, are the immoral, multi-billion dollar corporate entities not happy being forced to follow the law? Let me play a sad song for you on my invisible violin
US preparing invasion of Ireland in 3,2,1,……. TACO
EU citizens are victims of harassment from tech giants. There I fixed the title.
Tech giants are free to not do business with EU and Ireland if they feel so „harassed“. Free markets and all that.
Blablabla stfu US-whatever
I hear the world’s smallest violin playing somewhere in the distance.
And it happens barely a few hours after the French raided X headquarters in Paris
Harrasment = We cant straight up buy everyone like back home so we are sad we must abide by the law
That’s the type of harassment I’m happy to support.
Would loooove to see how much those tech companies donated to those losers.
Hooo boy. If they don’t like how they’re being treated they can leave. Isn’t that what American conservatives always say?
Cry me a river. Literally. We’re gonna need it for the data centers.
Is there any sane leadership left in the US?
Aw, diddums, you mean you can’t just do whatever you want? Less tech bros, more tech babies.
For the love of God, won’t *somebody* think about the poor harassed tech giants!
Fuck the USA
This American says thank you to Irish & EU regulators!
No they are being held to a community standard their communities value. America does NOT supersede other countries community values under ANY circumstance.
Such crybabies.
„Won’t somebody please think of the billionaires?“
It’s undeniable at this point the EU and many other countries are trying to kill the free internet and get control of what’s said under the guise of ‚protecting kids‘ or ‚misinformation‘, VPNs being the latest target.
Wait until they know that access to social networks will be forbidden for younger than 16 all across EU
Every day I pray that the USA’s latest schizophrenic episode gives our leaders the strength to shut out American influence forever.
Every business has a responsibility to the public to ensure its products do not cause harm. For far too long, we have allowed technology companies to exploit systems designed for fair use. They do not pay an appropriate level of taxes, they do too little to protect vulnerable users, and they generate enormous profits from advertising and personal data that is often collected without meaningful consent. It is time for them to be brought into line, regulated like any other industry, and held accountable for their failures.
We cannot continue to allow these platforms to destabilize our society with toxic content. Imagine the internet as a physical store you walk into. Picture the person at the door welcoming you inside. Instead of protection, it would resemble a plastic police officer waving millions of children through to view material meant only for adults. Inside, stalking, harassment, and verbal abuse would be tolerated. Misinformation would be rewarded, profits taken from the public, and responsibility carefully avoided.
Enough is enough. The internet must be regulated and safer platforms must be created. This is achievable. It is not impossible. Some would have you believe that regulation is the problem, but the real issue is the absence of effective oversight in these spaces.
Oh noooo the big bad eu won’t let us exploit our workers and resources so we cant make massive profits or fuck over everyone else, boo hoo hoo
/s
whatever, keep harassing them then
This is the world’s smallest violin, playing the worlds saddest song, just for you tech giants.
Tarrifs inbound lol.
US multinationals being harassed by our (Irish) regulators? I’d pay good money to see that happen – €13 billion, to be exact.
Presumably in the same way that criminals are the victims of ‚harassment‘ by the law.
Tech giants bought the US gov to harass EU
did they ever say thanks
I guess they would be the experts on harassing citizens, wouldn’t they
Bullshit.
Obey the law or fuck off. It’s not hard.
They are so strong yet so weak…
And the EU is so weak yet so strong
Yeah, it’s all the same stupid BS they keep on trying to pull on the US and succeeded with ass kissers like zuckeberg and elmo, both afraid they’d lose their monopolies. Automated censoring of posts was attempted long time ago on social media but the right wing didn’t like it and didn’t go through because all their stupid posts were flagged as lies, misinformation, racism, etc… like this one
Ou, this is the view that we in europe overlooked when they ignore a law everywhelese.
Balderdash!
Tech giants complain that they are limited in harassing eu citizens…..
Easy fix…
Can’t they just leave then?
Let’s continue !
