Is EU trying to become a more "polite" version of the orange thing in the White House ?
Looks like we are willing to go in that direction. I mean...not me, but Governments....

It seems like the conclusion they took is "American fashtech is bad solely because it is American"

The App Store and Play Store ARE American, so if that's their conclusion, they failed to understand the question.

@leeloo @ozzelot @_elena @EUCommission that's true, but also I don't think they really want (can) break with USA... as long as Trump is slightly more reasonable than usual they will accept whatever and go on without anything serious to differentiate EU. At least it looks like this to me right now.

@andre123 @leeloo @ozzelot @_elena @EUCommission 100%! I wouldn't mind betting there'd be, (one-way?), freedom of access agreement with the states anyway - DO NOT TRUST THE #EUCommission - unless you do not mind being observed, and depending on your political viewpoint, being victimised through the various tools we have already seen being used in amerikkka.
