Sounds like it’s working to me.

Zuckbot, comply with GDPR or forget about EU.

If your “product” is stealing my information for your “AI” or extorting me to buy “dongles”, then please “withhold” it.

Threatening a dog with a weiner I see. That’s a bold strategy.

If the products or “products” being withheld are deemed useful by their users, you’re bound to have someone filling the gap created by the butthurt tech giants leaving. Without all the associated data vulturing.

I wouldn’t say “capitalism”, given that some of the alternatives filling the gap to be non-commercial in nature.

This is more bark than bite, imo. They’re just threatening to withhold products at this point, but as the article points out:

  • Europe’s a big market and profit focused companies aren’t going to give that up just to make a point
  • Those that do will just encourage European competition to step up and fill whatever gaps might appear, which is just fine by the EU.

So… go right ahead. Let’s see how this really plays out.

Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from “social” media?

Nah you still get all of that but in a shitter product.
