Mastodon is European? Done with it!

This is not the way to make me buy more #EU products. Au contraire!

Why even spend money on R&D? The #EU will make it worthless anyway! πŸ™„

Question: Now that I only drink EU cola, are EU developers also pulling their apps from USA stores? Now that we are a EU First nation, we can’t have EU citizens doing business with those pesky Americans, can we?

From β€œYou should be able to use any service on any device” to β€œYou should use EU only products”. That went fast! 😳

So now all of a sudden we prefer a closed #EU ecosystem. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Probably no β€œconfetti" for the EU because we suck at tech 😩

I wonder how much of our tax money will go to paying damages to US tech companies because of all these #DMA nonsense

The #DMA is all about making technology less secure for EU consumers.The #EU is forcing a backdoor for all into the Apple ecosystem.

Don't tell us to prepare for war and in the meanwhile dismantling security for EU citizens.

The #DMA basically prohibits #EU consumers to have any privacy on their electronic devices.

@EUCommission screwed us over 🀬
