The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.

I am so grateful that the EU exists to set an example for this sort of thing.

Can we elect the EU to be our next president instead of the current crop of political windbags?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 8 months ago

I’d vote to join the EU in a heartbeat.

Beeper gets a lot of credit, I remember hearing the DoJ was investigating apple over iMessage due to them blocking beeper from supporting iMessage on android.

It’s not a law, it’s a lawsuit.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, they are suing them for breaking the law.

Allegedly breaking the law.

But what I’m pointing out is that the US is not passing new legislation like the EU did.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. They're suing them, alleging that they're breaking the law. Or, as I said "suing them for breaking the law".
