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?

Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay… :)

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

    Sounds like it’s working to me.

    Zuckbot, comply with GDPR or forget about EU.

    Nice! Thank you EU for the GDPR!

    For the next step, please let the companies that produce software be held accountable for damages. For Nonprofits change the target to associated companies. Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries. If the library was insufficiently supported by the developer, then the developer has no ground to sue for damages themselves.

    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.

      And the products they are threatening to withhold are exactly the products we don’t want. Last time the tech giants threatened to leave entirely the EU asked when to plan the going away party. The current tactic from the giants isn’t much better

    "Meta has decided not to release a new multimodal AI model and related products in the EU.

    The move follows a similar decision last month by Apple to withhold its new Apple Intelligence features from Europe."

    Oh no. Wait. Come back.
