      I don’t think either should be banned. We just need data protection laws. The government going after single companies sets a dangerous precedent.

      What the EU did with some of their compliance laws that targeted Google and Apple was set a number of users, so it wasn’t necessarily targeting a single or set company, as it applied to future companies too.

      Do you mean that if something isn’t propaganda or addictive it can steal and spy to its heart’s content?

      Also, there is a lot of propaganda and addictive things, especially from Meta, that seems to be okay 🤔

      Edit: poor reading skills

          That is the opposite of what i said.

          Yeah, I failed at reading this time

          Regarding the law abiding behaviour of Meta, well I don’t have much trust in that. But I’d say that having a court decision not followed looks like a better reason for a ban then voting for that in advance just in case
