@daringfireball Where are all the EU defenders here? It's crickets.

@shadash @daringfireball this isn’t team sports, you can agree with some of the EU’s decisions and not others. You can agree with their principles but not the implementation details.

@BenRiceM @daringfireball From my perspective, the EU treats regulation like a team sport. The home team gets all the breaks.

Because you, like Gruber, have no idea what the EU is, and what it does, and come it it with an extremely limited view of "whatever a supranational US corporation does is good actually".

This is a good overview of what people are missing: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/facing-reality-in-the-eu-and-tech/

Facing reality, whether it's about Apple or the EU, is a core requirement for good management

@dmitriid @shadash @BenRiceM @daringfireball thank you, good breakdown.

Always annoys me when Gruber spins the situation as a US targeted witch hunt. It’s short sighted and petty. Plenty of European companies have, rightly, been sanctioned by the EU too (from banks, telecommunications, car makers to big oil).
