You don’t see anything big tech does to be concerning?
You can give away for free your whole life if you want. But there are rules in EU to protect its citizens.
The US regulatory apparatus has been asleep at the wheel for 25+ years.
Not only do people need to be protected, but frankly this also creates weak high energy economic dams ready to burst under pressure.
By not regulating, these big tech companies grow tendrils into everything - they suck the oxygen out of ecosystems to take over them themselves, ridding sectors of healthy economic activity.
But they will not be anti-fragile in the face of disruption, because their metabolism relies upon infinite growth and sprawl that will come under attack. They are and the foundations are weak.
Can you even show any reliable article that would entertain this notion?
I wish, but unfortunately EU countries don't fine Big Tech enough and Big Tech just keeps breaking the law, treating the fines as normal cost of operation. Meta in particular is just profiteering on crime (phishing/fake ads) at this point, there are many leaked internal documents about it.
Not sure about this particular case.
