Well I’ll be damned. Ted Kaczynski was right all along. His manifesto checks out….
If you weren’t already aware that US tech companies are Putin loving, democracy hating fascists who don’t want their main avenue of spreading propaganda, hate and disinformation interfered with, then you haven’t been paying attention. Add in it allows them to destroy democracy for dirt cheap.
Liberal California is a land of contradictions. It’s also home to the fascist dickheads of Silicon Valley.
France has the right idea: Jail Musk as an example to oligarch’s messing with national elections.
Of course. It’s not enough that they have their teeth sunk into North America, this oligarchy wants to run/ruin the world!
Capitalism is fascisms best friend.
That’s part of the enshitification process

Granted they’ve always done it especially in the last 3 decades, buts it’s rather unnerving when private companies openly decides to manipulate a nation-state or country politics for the betterment of profits than the people in that country.
> These positions are built on specific narratives: data protection as hindering innovation, pushing for „legitimate interest“ on personal data collection, and the deregulation of AI.
„Legitimate“
Highly recommend you push back on this, Europeans.
Thus far, you’ve rightfully been able to look down on us Americans because we’ve let MAGA take over our country.
But if you let yourselves get bent over by our big tech companies like this, are you really that much better than us?
So … the same thing they’re doing in the US? Is that really news? „Big corps ally with politicians who are likely to pass policy that benefits them“ is total „dog bites man“ news, i.e. non-news.
The oligarchs want everything and will take it unless stopped.
Delete all these apps y’all, enough is enough of these facist mongers
Yeh, noticed it a while ago.
Good times. Frigging assholes.
Worth keeping an eye on the calendar here. EU AI Act enforcement kicks in February 2nd, so this lobbying push isn’t really about whether AI gets regulated. It’s about whether anyone ends up liable when things go wrong. Weaker rules don’t give us better AI, they just mean users keep carrying the risk while the companies carry on as usual.
They all seem to think that we live at the end of the history (historically an incorrect assumption) and that we’re going to enter the New Final Era any day now, with the rise of AI etc.
So, they’re feeling bold/desperate enough to just go for shit like this. Go for everything.
I feel like the more probable outcome is that we’ll „lose access“ to Facebook and Instagram in Europe. Oh, how ever *will* we survive..?
These are the same Tech Oligarchs that were waving LGBT flags when it was convenient
Both enemies of European people and European values. Let’s treat them as such.
Ban this BS interference and make it a criminal offence!!
How it is even legal?
Did people expect any different?
Right wing politics/conservatism is a cancer on humanity.
sounds about right. profits over everything, eh?
Because it just takes one of these countries to legalize jail breaking US tech to pivot that power to those who will actually provide service to the consumer.

Wealthy people are destroying society, around the world. They are getting dangerously close to gaining complete control, but maybe I’m naive, and they already have it.
