    Wow. Incompatible with what values?? Besides, that’s utterly irrelevant; FCC has no authority in how business is conducted inside the EU.

      The first amendment, apparently. The constitution DEFENDS my right to harvest data on millions of users and sell it! If that’s not freedom, i don’t know what is!

        That power, to spy wholesale on the American public, is the source of a massive amount of wealth and, more importantly, power.

        Our elites are never going to give it up.

          Hey, if it makes you feel any better it’s not just the US. The middle east is full of surveillance states, and now european countries want a piece of the pie and are now trying to surveil their population as much as possible.

          It’s a depressing truth, but there’s some solidarity that our struggle is one.

            Luckily, we have alternatives.

            There is an entire ecosystem of software that specifically rejects corporate, centralized, ownership. Self-hosting, while not for everyone, lets you largely stay away from these platforms that are being used to spy on you.
