Hopefully the EU will write a strongly worded letter

I don't have any
Sad but true :(
Haha 😄
Yeah baby! Let's goooo!
nor is it a bad thing that besides that they actually have some rights in the matter.
To repeat the earlier argument: It is a bad thing, because it gives a false sense of privacy, reduces privacy hygiene, and anchors worse technology hindering improvememt.
Technical solutions are only there if there is binding Incentive
I'm not talking about the remote side. The technical solution has to be on the client side. Remote side should always be assumed to be a malicious actor.
and compliance with EU law is absolutely a binding Incentive for "rest of the world", if they operate inside the EU, which most megacorps do.
Sounds like you don't know that non-megacorps can also have a web server reachable from inside the EU? With ipv6 every device is individually addressable, and a potential web server.
Additionally it's also not really binding for megacorps as we can see now. As the EU is completely reliant on the US, for energy, technology, defense, ... the US administration can just pressure EU council to change whatever law it wants. In case of a client side technical solution, that's not an issue.
You sound like you've never actually worked for a tech company lol, compliance is everything.
I have. That's just yet another one of your faulty reasonings.
In summary, and to repeat: these laws are extremely short-sighted, fail in achieving their stated goals, bring forth an unnecessary cost of compliance for well willing actors, and actually make digital privacy worse by the false sense of protection it brings and because it mandates worse technology.
It's of huge help when you can't leave.
What examples are you thinking about?
Most exiting new technologies, I find, people don't talk about and aren't part of publicly listed company.
For privacy there's also https://ministryofprivacy.eu/
Relying on the courts is indeed no use. They're intentionally obtuse and unreachable. And in most cases, the largest offenders are our own governments, who ignore court rulings anyways (1).
Technical solutions will always be best. Followed by a change in executive branch.
Climate Talks End With 'Empty Deal' That Fails on Forests, Finance, and Fossil Fuels | Common Dreams
largely due to a lack of competitiveness with China and the US
Where does the lack of competitiveness come from?
The move to a sustainable economy is an opportunity (...)
should make sure that industry jobs are not lost and that Europe's industrial sectors and their workers are fundamental to delivering the climate solutions Europe needs, which are very different things to what you said
It's been decades now of supposed opportunity, could and should, of storytelling, hypotheticals and promises, as in your references.
The results are in, the promises turned out false. EU has the most expensive energy of the world, is losing industry faster than ever, there is no novel "green industry". People are looking at reality instead of the fantasy could/should stories.
EU's agenda on climate change is being ignored for valid reasons. We're an unreliable partner in accelerating economical, industrial and thus geopolitical decline.
If we want to convince others on the necessary climate change mitigation methods, we'll have to have something to offer.
We'll have to implement the mitigation methods in a way that shows they're a benefit. So others will want to copy. So far that hasn't happened. We've shown the opposite.

The Activist’s Dilemma: Extreme Protest Actions Reduce Popular Support for Social Movements

This is incorrect.
The most common method for addressing a lithium-ion vehicle fire involves fully submerging the vehicle to allow the energy to dissipate as steam.
However, many underground parking facilities in my area are beginning to ban electric cars, as more fires start to occur, and retrofitting the necessary tanks to ensure fire safety is proving challenging.
Li-ion fire safety is a very difficult thing.
