I fully expect this to get ignored like all the other similar revelations. Heads should roll, literally, but nothing will happen. Does anybody have any earnest hope for reform? Even in Europe where the public is supposedly keyed in, and where there is some political traction for getting away from American companies, nobody seems to take the idea of banning these corporations seriously.

>>mikkup+g8
The idea of banning meta or Google is indeed not serious. What's realistic is forcing them to behave by issuing fines that make such behavior prohibitively expensive. Admittedly there's nobody doing that in Europe seriously yet, but that's because the current unhinged head of American state has meltdown every time American bigtech get a wrist slap.

Europeans have been saying that for what, 20 years now? How long does it have to not work before we stop saying that it's a realistic solution?

>>mikkup+Ih
There were no serious attempts at enforcing the rules.

>>fsflov+uo
If that's so, then is it realistic to expect that to somehow change? These corps have been fined more times than I can count, but it's clearly not working.

>>mikkup+Uz
The fines were too low. If Europe is serious now, it can change.
