It doesn't mean they "have to abide by GDPR" or that they "are GDPR compliant". All it means is they appear to be GDPR compliant and pretend to respect user privacy. The sole fact that the AI chatbots are run in US-based data centres is against GDPR. The EU has had many different personal data transfer agreements with the US, all of which were canceled shortly after signing due to US corporations breaking them repeatedly (Facebook usually being the main culprit).

Personally I'd prefer if 'memes', if you can call it that, like this one were kept to politics-centered communities.

In any case, I think the message is true for most if not all countries on the planet. No politician from any major party is a good person, and they most definitely don't care about you enough to do anything for you. You will probably have a hard time finding any politician that isn't a liar, or worse, but the major parties are the worst of the worst.

I think you're bringing up good points about important issues. However, what the current US administration is doing doesn't seem to solve any of those problems in any capacity. In fact, the previous administration did a lot more on that front, without collapsing the entire global economy at the same time. Also, as some other comments pointed out, almost nobody on the planet is 'caving in' to the tariffs. The vast majority of the world is simply cutting trade with the US wherever possible, resulting in Americans paying several times more for various goods, for no apparent reason or benefit.

Personally I've been of the opinion that advertising, at least in its current form, should be illegal since I was about 15. I'm not 100% sure if it should be completely illegal, or just very heavily regulated. Even after all those years, I'm still baffled nearly every day that people around me seem okay with current advertising.
