- The EU will keep pushing to break encryption: like they have been doing for decades? Do you remember the book that Bruce Schneier wrote?
- More age verification laws: yeah, more, that is obvious too that they won't stop
- More efforts to block VPNs: after scanning phones locally and remotely to "think of the children" and wanting to spy on every messaging service, VPN were obviously the next step (even more obvious because they want to stop piracy, not protect children)
- An AI agent will go terribly wrong: after the suicide, telling you to cook pasta with gas, and other brainwashing stories?
- Prediction markets in everything: has been happening for centuries
- People and businesses will ditch US platforms: no shit, with all the websites about moving away from the US and using E2E encrypted services in Europe, wow, that's on the same level as a fake psychic
