MEPs have sharply criticized the plan. “Our fear is that the implementation of our laws and standards will be called into question by American companies,” criticizes Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, for example. “If this is confirmed, it would be nothing less than a capitulation to the pressure and intimidation tactics of the Trump administration.” The EU Commission repeatedly emphasizes that it does not want to change its regulations due to US pressure. However, some of the recently proposed changes in digital legislation, particularly to the AI Act and the General Data Protection Regulation, primarily benefit US companies that are already dominant in the market.

Fuck the US. Let it wallow and die. Talking more closely is just more likely to get its shit on you as it goes.

I really don’t understand the EU.

While the US has Trump threatening Denmark’s sovereignty, threatening to pull out of NATO, making up lies about the EU being created to screw the US, have multiple US billionaires and his whole administration lobbying EU countries to degrade EU unity, the EU goes out in full bend-over mode to whatever the US wants.

Want every EU citizens Medical data? Go ahead. Want to regulate our industries? Why not. Want us to implement Chat Control? Fuck it, we’re all part of the same Epstein class anyway!

I have an idea: Set this up and just tell the US to fuck off all the time.

This to me seems just a setup to have a good excuse later on when implementing Draconian surveillance measures.
