    It’s absolutely ridiculous that someone would threaten to change a tariff regime after negotiating one a few month ago. What’s the point of any agreement with this guy if it’s null and void the moment he changes his mind?

    That said (loudly), we need more European digital solution that don’t suck like their American counterparts. Maybe use the money from the digital tax to fund the development and deployment of alternatives to Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Amazon, Google, etc.

      I sincerely hope this is what Europe does. Tech is funding fascism around the world, including Europe. If you continue to do nothing, they will continue to turn your people into savage fascists one moron at a time. That’s why right wing nationalists parties keep gaining support all over Europe. They’re using social media, the rest of the internet and what media they control to do this and they control enough. Especially with the help of Israel. Europe must find alternatives and fast.

      Or don’t build an alternative EU online cesspool but instead invest the money in education…
