      EU wants to read all your online communications so, no, they will not be saving you from this. This furthers that goal

        Luckily it’s not the same body in the EU who’s in charge of enforcing AND setting up proposals.

        The EU is not a “one opinion” government body.

        Big gov and big corp are essentially the same thing. And while the people jump ship to be at the mercy of the “better side”, the elites are sharing a cocktail in secret.

        The scale still remains, however one side tilted more so than the other.

          “big gov” can be influenced by citizens. meanwhile, “big corp” is controlled by shareholders, the average person has zero say in how the corporate is run

            Not true, vanguard sends me vote notifications. Basically, vanguard will vote on the board the way the vanguard shareholders do

          Yuuuup. The state and capitalists collude against the working class. Neither one nor the other can ever be trusted to put the interests of workers first, though they will each make empty promises to do so. Then they will privilege the ruling class every time.

      This is basically the same as Apple’s notarization scheme for direct app installation on iOS in the EU. I do not believe the EU has sued Apple over that yet, and they’ve had plenty of time to do so.

        They usually sue if the practice doesnt stop for over a year. They do send warnings before anything official comes out FYI.

        But I dont know if they want to do anything though. No one but them and Apple knows for sure.

      The law EU created looks like it has a loophole which allows manufacturer to prescreen side loaded apps (like what? What’s the point of sideloading then?) it is what Apple exploited and Google is going the same direction.

      A few months ago? Yeah, I’d be with you. Today? It’s the wet dream of the current EU leads. Closed devices, where they can run spyware without risk of it being hindered by custom OS with proper permissions and process separations? So good. For them.

      This is forced by EU regulations. I doubt Google would have introduced this on its own. If they wanted to do this, then why wait until forced?
