I keep thinking about the UK preventing Meta from buying Giphy as if the problem is GIF hosting monopoly and not that these GIF services make no money so will eventually fail without a generous benefactor.

@carnage4life how are these being pronounced in everybody’s heads?
@carnage4life Broadly speaking, the UK/European privacy & anti-trust regimes are not great at understanding business implications for their decisions or the trade offs inherent in their rulings/decision making.
@carnage4life I never did get into snapchat. Apparently, that is now a good thing.
