From “You should be able to use any service on any device” to “You should use EU only products”. That went fast! 😳
So now all of a sudden we prefer a closed #EU ecosystem. 🤦🏽♂️

Do I really mean what I toot? Have asked myself that question as well 🤷🏽♂️
Some Golden Brown?
Question: Now that I only drink EU cola, are EU developers also pulling their apps from USA stores? Now that we are a EU First nation, we can’t have EU citizens doing business with those pesky Americans, can we?
Probably no “confetti" for the EU because we suck at tech 😩
Mastodon is European? Done with it!
I wonder how much of our tax money will go to paying damages to US tech companies because of all these #DMA nonsense

The #DMA basically prohibits #EU consumers to have any privacy on their electronic devices.
@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu screwed us over 🤬
How is it possible that @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu can make regulations that monopolies can weaponize against #EU consumers? Shame on you EU. No wonder we are so far behind in tech if we let morons regulate consumer tech.
I’m so fed up with the EU trying to convince us the #DMA is in our best interest whilst the DMA is just a tool for companies to invade our privacy.
Fix the DMA or be gone with it.
The only use Mastodon still has is complaining about EU regulations. The EU killed mastodon. 😩
Fuck the #DMA! Fuck the #EU! Fuck @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu!
Stop enforcing stuff on EU consumers we clearly not want and even try to avoid.
Start guarding privacy instead of giving it away to every company that benefits on invading our privacy.
Start protecting EU consumers instead of making them more vulnerable

As predicted the #DMA is a tool enabling companies to invade on #EU iPhone users privacy. This is what you get when the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu consists of only idiots. 🤬
“We do not know why we are here. We do not know who built the Silo. We do not know why everything outside the Silo is as it is. We do not know.”
#Silo is back!!!! #appletvplus
A united Europe as an answer to America first?
You got to be joking? First the EU makes a huge effort to divide Europeans over third party stores nobody asked for and now you want to unite? The EU should have innovated first. Make me a closed, privacy and security minded; innovative EU tech platform and I might consider reuniting. Until then I hope Trump tariffs the shit out of the EU. 😡
Test? 🤔 They know EU publishers will line up with apology letters. 😈
