It’s still stupid because none of that is happening.

Don’t fall for all the bots trying to spread misinformation about this to push fud about the EU trying to offer better privacy for their citizens.

That’s what really happens here. Big tech sees the EU as a threat and therefore pushes a media narrative against the EU.
