O.o

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

The title needs to say it’s only for the EU. 3rd party app stores for iOS are not coming to the rest of the world.

And for android you’d probably be able to get the APK, but I’m not sure how the in-app purchases will work outside of EU.

AI’s really just getting started, isn’t it.

Haven’t seen this in the EU. Anyone knows if this is prevented here?

Whoever wrote this blog post missed the point in the way the fediverse is decentralised.

It’s not about hosting. It’s about ownership. And that means hosting can change at any moment. Because no one company decides anything.

That’s why we really want the fediverse. Because it’s not build for late stage capitalism and monopolies.

US is still stuck on SMS, so much that they even made an upgrade to it with RCS.

It felt like an upgrade to the DVD disk when you have the Internet.

This is actually a law in Denmark, so it’s something Facebook had to do.

Any new data centers build on Danish ground need to be hooked up to the central heating system, providing heat to the community.

Perfect use of resources.

Imagine an open source platform for this service.

Thanks, EU.

Please just let this be a global decision, and not like these companies do with GDPR.
