Haha, they see themselves as ‘good cops,’ deciding what content is acceptable and what isn’t. It’s not even about copyright—it’s about what they think is good for users and what isn’t.

And in the process of playing ‘police’ they end up taking down one of the best videos explaining how Bitcoin works.

Phishing scam videos are not good for anyone, why would you want people impersonating your brand stealing your users funds?

Impressive, yet more burning GPUs and pushing CO2 in the atmosphere just for stupid stuff that is only of interest to rich western people...

I'd rather have those people work on climate change solutions

At this size, shuttering a store in retaliation for unionizing should result in the corporate death penalty. If Apple doesn't want to deal with unions, then they can feel free to make the point moot, by giving their employees an ownership stake in the company.

I wonder how much we are actually losing on this side of the pond with that.

Maybe it is for the best. I don't really trust those billion-dollar companies.

classic, uh, actually it's a good thing we don't have any tech scene bringing jobs and innovation!!

That’s already happened in the US without regulation, little farms don’t stand a chance against giant agribusinesses which may not even be US owned (largest pork producer is owned by Chinese) . In fact regulation is probably preventing it from happening faster in the EU.

We should definitely take the word of an infamous welfare queen (Ayn Rand) on how to run society, indeed

> EU didn't go into an uncontrolled spree investing every company that had .com in its name and ruined thousands of lives and wasted billions of dollars.

This is the thing that so many Americans in tech don't seem to understand. VC Twitter is full of smugposting about how the US has "$5 trillion market-cap of startups" and the EU doesn't.

And what they miss is that the EU doesn't want Silicon Valley. It doesn't want the "trillions in startups". Because essentially none of them turn any profit. Why on earth would anyone want $5 trillion dollars in companies that do not make financial sense yet have awful externalities.

Zpalmtree · a year ago
oh my God please stop inovating and making jobs think of the externalities!!!
