SahwaGrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information
Art3misIf the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.
ReygleThe rest of the planet may have something to say on that front. There IS more to the world than naziland.
Yes, but the US is a huge, profitable market. And companies will bend over backwards to appease Nazis so long as it’s more profitable to do so than not.
Within the US we have issues with all the US History books being written to comply with Texas’s “slavery was actually good for black people” bullshit because Texas is such a big market and everybody wants in on it.
AnUnusualRelicYes, other markets on the planet are marginal. Never mind that the EU is actually larger. In many metrics than the US. It’s not even in the “funny” pages of us websites, so apart to a minority of educated readers, it doesn’t even exist. And let’s not even start about the rest of the planet.
But meeting the US’s requirements doesn’t prevent products from being sold in Europe.
It’s the same reason film studios started pandering to China and why frying pans sold in Florida have a cancerous materials warning label that’s only required in California.
Companies cater to restrictive regulations in major markets because those products are still legal in less-restrictive territories.
You’ve got this all wrong. If anything, meeting us requirements would make eu people more suspicious of whatever product it is.
