  • That isn’t good enough IMO. Obviously the EU should pass laws immediately requiring complete separation and independence from US counterparts and law, but all code that runs in the data centers should also be open for inspection, including the lowest level firmware.

    Enriching big tech is terrible though, especially after they’ve bent the knee to fascism, so the long term goal should be an EU native cloud that has nothing to do with US tech companies.






  • They legally shouldn’t be allowed in any home. They were a general attack vector, and are now a fascist attack vector. Either the hardware and software is FOSS, or GTFO. If you can’t survive with competition, without holding a gun to your customers heads, throwing up artificial barriers and holding their data hostage, and they can’t leave you easily the moment they no longer want anything to do with you (regardless of the reason), you don’t deserve customers. You don’t deserve to waste our planets resources on your narcissism. Period.

    Every product needs to be reigned in, including government services which mostly rely on proprietary foreign tech, otherwise we’re all going to end up in a fascist black mirror hellscape.


  • It should be expanded to everything. Why do we allow corporations to build things that can’t be recycled, and not have them pay for the waste management of the products they create? Taxing them for hard to recycle packaging and products would spur them to create more sustainable alternatives. Why do we let consumers buy shit but distribute the cost of their waste management across all tax payers? Consumers should be charged extra for buying products which are hard to dispose of.

    NOTE: you just charge the companies for the waste management of their products, which will be passed onto consumers.
