EU absolutely is a country.

    I think regulation would be the proper course of action, here. I mean neither do we ban American cars in Europe. We just say they have to play by our rules or they can’t do business here. So I wouldn’t support a ban based on country of origin. But regulation what they can and can not do.

      How do you regulate closed-source code to be free from back doors for spying and sabotage, and black-box feed shaping algorithms to not have bias and censorship for mass manipulation?

      Don’t rely on enemy services in a cold war, no matter how much they seem to follow your regulations.

        I think that works like all other regulations. Like for example food, chicken, cars and machinery. You take samples and check them. Or have a court decide to have a look at the paperwork…

        And I don’t view myself as the enemy in a cold war. I’m opposed to the current administration of the USA. But that’s pretty much it. I’m not necessarily in active combat against the economy… Well… I am against privacy invading platforms. But because they invade privacy, and not because they are from a certain country.
