The EU would need to have the balls first. USAian propaganda has seeped into this continent for so long that it has affected the populace deeply. If the EU did something to threaten iPhone, WhatsApp, or Starbucks availability in the EU, that would be cause for an uprising.

Lol, did you notice you can opt out of tracking cookies on Meta, or that iPhones have USB-C connectors?

EU regulations got some pull. And also give a fair few fines.

What's cited is a little bit more than those regulations, homie.

Agreed, and as EU has a history of enforcing regulations, even against the "untouchables" you mentioned, I have expectations that they will again.

I can only hope so. Given the right rot in the Union though, I'm doubtful.
