Seems like that is the default course of action when one country is doing a “bad” thing that the US or Europe doesn’t like.
I’ll admit that I don’t really know how that works, or how it’s enforced, or whatever. But could the EU and/or Canada or even China impose sanctions on the US now since the US is doing, um, very bad things?
Corey Doctorow had a presentation this past week at the C3 hacker conference arguing that all our allies only agreed to be ruled by US tech hegemony in exchange for free trade agreements, and if they want a win-win solution to getting f’d, they should repeal their laws against jailbreaking US tech.
Tech sovereignty is already (finally) an issue the rest of the world is waking up to. I hope they go much farther and faster.
