@ThatCrazyDude

The Commission official said the bloc’s intention is that the EU app becomes a global standard, similar to the vaccination app used during the Covid crisis.

@CapitalB but of course. They have a plan, you see. This is one of the reasons why I'm not using European ISPs

@ThatCrazyDude yeah but this will go global.

Any sat based network is one rule away from being banned on a platform.

@CapitalB well, it might fly in Europe, both EU and non EU states, definitely in China and such, but something tells me they'll have a real hard time selling it to the US. The NSA is not about to give up its ultimate say on who can and who can't use the interwebz and spying possibilities, so there's that.

@ThatCrazyDude @CapitalB do you think musk will not switch off starlink if his money is threatened? i'd say he wants the x eu market more than he wants the handful of starlink people.

@bonifartius @CapitalB everything's possible, obviously, but given that he still haven't blocked RT even for EU customers, I'm cautiously optimistic

What is all this?
What are they trying to do?
I thought they just wanted to count the rings on your asshole so Facebook knows you're a boomer - and now we're getting to internet connections and all that?

I mean, doesn't an internet connection kind of imply you're >18 because if not, how are you paying for it?
