This seems to be the crux of his argument in his latest book, enshittification. It takes a step beyond his common complaint (DMCA) and suggests other countries ignore their version of it to circumvent US Big Tech laws. I’m all for it, but it requires European governments to understand the situation and act. We’ll see.
