Utter BS. The big ones just want to corner the market.

Proactive legislation is the name of the game in the EU. Citizens and domestic interests first. Comply or else.

Meta saying this with a straight face and yet AI functions in Pixels are unavailable in local languages.

This push-back is laughable.
