Those regulations also apply to US companies operating in the EU.

Android phones are only cheaper because they're subsidised by the makers getting paid for installing applications you can't remove like Facebook and for selling your data to data brokers. If android phones came with stock Android and no data sharing the manufacturers would have to increase their cost.

Randi Weingarten is a dangerous Communist. Nobody should listen to this cunt on any issue whatsoever. She has done more damage to the US educational system than all of the LLMs combined.

My 12 month Premium sub ended a week ago, I was contemplating on whether to continue subscribing, already a bit reluctant to due to the amount of AI slop on it and this will just make it ten times worse. This has made my decision much easier. Now to decide where to go next.

Fuckerberg has always strived for low morale. He thinks it weeds out the weak.

Upset that the rest of the world now sees the USA and it's people for what you truly are and that we're turning away from you in ever increasing numbers?

It's also unclear how the regime could force tech giants to comply, as they are barred from making payments to Iran due to strict US sanctions; as a result, the companies themselves may view Iran's statements as posturing rather than serious policy.

That sounds like a them problem. Just because the US has sanctions against companies making payments to Iran doesn't mean Iran can't levy charges and take action if those do not get paid. US law only applies to the US, not the rest of the world. It will be for those companies targetted to find a way to pay the bill.

I think that it's been proven more then sufficiently. We even have "parents" sitting their months old babies in front of a tablet for hours a day.

Microsoft is above the law, as they've proven countless times already.

That's how Eddie Lampert bought KMart and Sears.

China isn't using the solar panels domestically. They're exporting them to Western nations that are foolish enough to waste money on these mostly ineffective means of power production. What does non-woke China use? COAL! That's right, the country that has no concerns about green energy or green anything other than money is burning more coal than ever.

But seriously, nuclear power is the way to go, with modularized reactors that can be brought up and running within a few years not decades like the older plants.

Solar and wind farms are a scam that would not exist without massive subsidies. Were this not the case, every new data center would feature lots of wind and solar on their massive roofs, yet they mostly have no interest in that. Do they not like saving money or something?

The big tell is that the sponsors of these laws are "progressive" states, which absolutely never have the best interests of the common person at heart. This is an eventual ban on tool ownership disguised as a right to repair law.

Just one more tax, bro! One more tax will finally fix everything.

When wildfires that are now happening at a historic rate are burning your home down and the fire department can't fight them because the local datacenters have sucked up all the water then remember you were quite happy with the cause of your woes.
