If you want to sell your product/service in the EU, you comply with EU laws and if you don’t comply you pay the fines. And if you continue to not comply your product/service will be banned and you will not be able to sell it legally anymore. And in case of a webservice like Facebook the site can get blocked real fast.
He’ll do what he already wants to do, drive a between the US and the EU by adding tariffs and just generally finding Europe’s weak points and sticking his finger in them til either the EU rolls back its laws, or he completely fractures the relationship. I’m guessing tech companies don’t want to fracture the relationship because they still want to be able to sell their shit there.
I have a few tinfoil hat theories. You know, the kinda shit you come up with trying to plan for the worst.
One of them is that all these villainous world superpowers are going to get together and basically redraw the world. Eg: US will say they won’t defend S. Korea, Taiwan, or Ukraine if they can get Canada and Greenland, that kinda shit.
Like fuck there’s not going to be anything to stop them. All this “taking Canada” rhetoric is really making me fully understand the situation Ukraine is in. I always thought I’d find some way to dodge a draft, but if it came down to fighting to preserve my country’s sovereignty, I’m taking all you Americans down with me
I really hope so. The way it’s been treated so far, as if it’s just a funny joke that we might consider (Canada would turn the US blue forever!, etc), even by more left leaning news corps like CNN has really left a sour taste in my mouth.
In a recent CNN clip, they were talking about how because we just “threw out our PM”, we might actually want to be American. Like, no, we’re a sovereign country, do not joke about invading us you actual fucking nazis, Christ.
Lmao, how would Trump ever do that?

Maybe he’ll try to annex the whole EU instead of just Greenland

Half of us would happily join you
