  No analysis of the actual text of the law. Just mindless ranting about how tech should just be able to do whatever they want. Horrible article.

  It might become a real thing that tech companies exit the EU market

  I think this swould be fantastic.

  Lets dump all that US crap and start our own versions. We dont need the US.

  An entire Euro inspired tech eco system with Euro data protections, privacy and encryption with everything and a legal framework to protect it.

  It has already started with some wonderful companies like, Qwant, swisscows, meteger, mullvad vpn and browser, protonmail and vpn, nordvpn, kdrive and kmail.

  Just some of the ones I use every day without having to send my data across the altantic to some tech bro billionaire who doesnt give a shit.

  EuroX sounds great, Eurotube sounds great, eurogram how lovely, eurodroid OS superb.
