Let's hope the EU prevents this from happening. We should be able to access every site we wish without Google's permission.

    We should all be encouraging Europeans to:

    1. Force Android and iOS to be given to the people to own and open-source the OS fully in EU with GPL license
    2. Fine them to oblivion if they do not cooperate
    3. If they try to double down then piece up their companies into parts

    We all tired of their fucking shit. Everyone keep getting people active and informed on all this!! Together anything is possible!!

    The EU is busily building the Fourth Reich, so don't expect help from there.

    The ongoing battle against online privacy is a symptom of capitalism, the EU is a capitalist state. The only thing the EU would ever do against US-based capitalism is to gobble up those capital gains for themselves. It doesn't matter if it happes or not, the privacy-issues for end-users would never be alleviated by the EU.

    From what you're saying, they would've already introduced all those capitalist methods of control the first time around.

    Which they didn't.

    What gives?

    Also: the EU is literally incapable of "gobbling up capital gains for themselves" because "themselves" doesn't exist in this context - the EU is not a "State". The member-states might (and some do).
