U.S. Ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder told the Financial Times that European companies would face “devastating” retaliation from Washington if Brussels moves forward with plans to restrict American competitors’ access to parts of the European market.
You cannot cut access to the internet to the entire continent. It’s decentralised. You could cut access to AWS, Google cloud and Azure and several other US services. That would: 1. Immensely cripple all websites and services using it but would also cost those corporations a lot of income, would destroy their position on the market, European and Asian alternatives exist. It would be difficult but European and mostly Chinese providers would benefit in the long term.
They can also cut access to Facebook, Xitter and Instagram. Please do that.
True, alternatives exist and we work towards more independence. It takes time.
I like your idea of the daily life without these major social medias.
Cutting those lynchpins would be stupid, agreed, and no matter how asinine this “gov’t” has been for years, it’s far more likely that they’ll do that and allow paid access for companies, etc., no doubt.
