Once more, the EU being leader when it comes to users' rights and keeping the big companies accountable for their shady practices. 👍
Sometimes i wish i lived there :')
As a Canadian, I appreciate a lot of what the EU does when it comes to consumer protections. Hopefully this one also ends up impacting the rest of us!
Same, my American brother, same. (I'm from Chile btw) 🇨🇱✌️
Excellent use of the word, my friend.
I plan on moving there as soon as possible when I graduate high school. Real tired of America
Come to Ireland, the weather is mostly shite but global failures on climate change are making it very Mediterranean
Ireland is probably is a nice country to live in, but it's pretty ironic recommending it to someone wanting to come to the EU because of its regulations on big companies.
Ireland costs other countries 16bn a year by allowing those companies to evade taxes in the EU.
I was planning on Germany, and I’ve recently met a German friend online which has solidified my choice
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a mastodon account on lemmy
Jesus the heat at the moment.
Some countries in EU offer Americans free education and easy work permits after graduation. I think Germany has program like that.
Theres plenty of places that need workers, in the EU!
Depending on your education it will be easier or harder, of course (also which country you plan on going to)
As a Brit, me too.
You caught my attention.
How has life changed for you since Brexit?
Not the person you asked, but for me:
So, yeah. Not everyone has had as bad a time as me, but everyone I know has encountered some negative fallout. I've yet to encounter anyone who has actually benefitted, even indirectly.
So err, do you think the country has any chance of fixing stuff up, considering Poland is on track to overtake the UK at this rate, within a decade? And have perhaps some of your political ideas/values or strongly held beliefs changed at all?
Different brit here. I suspect the plan is to reduce immigration by making the UK a place no one would want to migrate too.
On a related note, I believe Indians are emigrating to other EU countries too - it wouldn't surprise me if India's rise was a consideration for brexit. Naturally Indians (as with most people who wish to immigrate tbh) want to come to an English speaking country.
Jesus, i'm really sad to hear all that. 😢
Let's hope the british goverment comes out soon with a good strategy to push the economy forward, (or just reverse brexit altogether).
Damn, that's awful!
One urgent thingis that the EU follow the UK in abandoning the ill-conceived "client-side scanning", aka Chat-Control.
Both have laws like that in the making and beside tiny formalities the UK sadly didn't abandone it at all! :/
Glad the EU is cracking down on tech companies. They have done a good job fighting for consumer rights. Even improving them in nations outside the EU both by forcing companies to make global changes and by inspiring local legislation. It's something they should be proud of.
I am
EU comes to the rescue! Again!
The European Commission aims to empower consumers and ensure tech giants adhere to European rules, providing immediate accountability for any issues.
Part of this "adhering to European rules" means complying with EU laws on "disinformation" and giving police forces of EU refined backdoor access to take down content.
I'm fine with (takedown-only) backdoors only for the big tech companies, as long as you're allowed to self host without backdoors.
