Zuckerberg urged Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies, which he says were forced by EU to pay $30B+ for legal violations over the past two decades
Right. Should be fun few years for the EU. www.politico.eu/article/zuck... Mike Galsworthy / @mikegalsworthy : I'm on the EU's side on this. — And so should be every global citizen that does not want their online world to be flooded with disinformation. @walterdragon : It's so easy to not be fined, all you have to do is stop breaking the law! But that's what gives them the money, so they'd rather hire the US government to be their enforcer. Jan-Werner Mueller / @jwmueller-pu : Oligarchs have the freedom to voice opinions on other countries. — The EU does not have the freedom not to enforce its rules. Omar Khafagy / @omarkhafagy : Incredibly shortsighted. Meta hasn't created a damn thing that's irreplaceable. This sort of hostility will create a stronger demand for competing products. [embedded post] Danil Ovechkin / @danilovechkin.com : I hope they remember these things, when winds change in 4 years or so @loveisphere : Musk taught Zuck and other billionaires that massive political / electoral contributions result in astronomical rates of return on all levels. They're all buying what Trump is selling. @sifill : So Trump is to be their muscle with Europe. Using American influence global wealth, military & power (which belongs to all of us - not Trump and not Musk & Zuck) to pressure Europe to make their countries' public discourse as much a cesspool of disinformation and racism as ours? [embedded post] Ed Garcia / @edgarseeya : If you don't wanna abide by laws in European countries, then don't operate your business in European countries. — www.politico.eu/article/zuck... Riley / @botriley : Have they considered not breaking international law [embedded post] @bulubane : This is very funny because the EU will just block them both and it's going to hurt one of them a whole lot more than the other. [embedded post] @johnbud : bsky.app/profile/tech... I don't know how much is him being a dbag, and how much it is him doing “social engineering”, currying favor to get his desired financial outcomes as article shows. [embedded post] @elindbloom : I have a different idea. Let's pass new legislation based on the EU laws and start enforcing some anti-monopoly laws. [embedded post] Michael Love / @elkmovie : Yeah, after a week of threats of tariffs / invasions / withholding of military aid I'm sure the EU will be eager to do whatever Trump wants with tech regulation Cian Twomey / @cian2me : Or maybe the US tech firms could actually obey the law? [embedded post] Ray Minehane / @rayminehane : Seems like the EU will be having major bother for 2025 [embedded post] @dnas.is : lmao good luck [embedded post] Noah Barkin / @noahbarkin : Unholy alliance of Trump + Big Tech vs Europe — www.politico.eu/article/zuck... @miriambo : Now Mark Zuckerberg wants Trump to go after the EU for regulations. He declared it on a Joe Rogan podcast. Are we in hell? This is hell right? Mike Galsworthy / @mikegalsworthy : Follow our rules, or don't operate in our countries, Zuckerberg. @cbotheeggman : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies — And...now we see why Zuckerberg is transforming Facebook into a MAGA hellscape. He wants Trump to help him. Also, his rat penis transplant might not be working out. — www.politico.eu/article/zuck... Peter Stefanovic / @peterstefanovic : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies..I guess no one saw that coming — www.politico.eu/article/zuck... Alberto Fernández Gibaja / @gibajaalberto : Make no mistake, it has always been about this — www.politico.eu/article/zuck... X: Tim Sweeney / @timsweeneyepic : DSA is the law that European politicians are trying to misuse for censorship. DMA (Digital Markets Act) is the pro-competition law that returned Fortnite to iOS in Europe and is enabling competition to the App Store and Google Play monopolies. They are NOT the same. LinkedIn: Andrew Soteriou : I've been calling this for some time now. We made an intentional decision to move into better light, away from the decay, and what I have been predicting and writing since 2016. … Noah Gift : If you haven't read the book Tech Coup yet, Marietje Schaake called everything that is about to happen: https://lnkd.in/... … Alberto Alemanno : For over a decade, the EU has been struggling to tame big tech's undue power and influence and let the likes of Facebook/META, and Twitter/X virtually unconditional access to its 450 million citizens. … Forums: r/politics : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies r/AnythingGoesNews : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies - POLITICO r/inthenews : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies - POLITICO r/europe : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies r/Destiny : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies r/eutech : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies r/europeanunion : Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies See also Mediagazer
