      France has already cut off the US ambassador from having contact with government officials.

          Tbh the whole French bad thing was because they were based in the past. They didn’t want to join Bush’ invasion so French fries became freedom fries.

            French fries became freedom fries (for about a month, but it was well covered by the media).

    From a unitedstatesian: please tell our diplomats to fuck off, emphatically. GDPR is a fucking godsend, and I wish it applied to us over on this side of the pond.

      As a Californian damned to live under this shithole of an empire, I would also like to encourage Europeans to tar and feather any and all American diplomats.

      technically it does.

      there’s no requirement that vendors have to verify your country of origin and asking for that kinda breaks gdpr.

      just request your right to be forgotten and they will just comply.

    You hear that, EU? Lean hard into your data sovereignty, if only to piss off America.

      That, and the instant this became news, data sovereignty became a national security issue.

    Well, duh!

    Digital Sovereignty make industrial espionage much harder, plus it reduces the profits of the massive companies which grew in the previous Tech evolution wave, which are mainly in the US.

    The best way to fight back is for users to stop using as much as possible services and products from big tech companies who gave Trump millions of $. There will be nothing he could do about it 🖕
