EU really should regulate against this kind of behaviour
EU lobbies won't ever allow it.
In the later years the EU regulations have been massively disappointing. Only favouring big EU companies and destroying little businesses and the european consumers.
Some disappointing eu regulations:
The cookiesgate. Your data is still going around everywhere. You just have a pop up everywhere that means nothing.
¿Replaceable batteries on smartphones? No, only for cheap chinese phones if so. The big players can pay for some european certification on the quality of their batteries and doesn't need to be replaceable.
¿Stop killing games? Hahahaha don't ever think about it.
You are buying too much, we need you poorer. So we put up a 3€ tariffs per ~~category~~ product on chinese stores so you are forced to buy the exact same product to an european retailer at twice the price.
We heard you like the environment, what about a new complicated tax on packaging so all small business cannot function and only big business are allowed to send products within the european union.
I think the days of the EU legislation saving the day are far off.
Wrong. It's on items purchased from any non-EU countries. So it also includes the Irish purchasing from UK.
That charge is not just on Chinese stores. I manufacture my own product in the usa through a factory i own and get hit with those fucking charges.
Then I’ve got to pay for all this cardboard and plastic but OH LOOK there’s a minimum fee so I’m subsidizing larger businesses or Europeans in general. AND I need to pay for a European contact to do it! Fuck yourselves for that one.
Eu regulation is hostile to small business and they will be left with nothing but major shitty international corps at this rate.
In the USA, you say?
"Oh no".
Anyway...
Liberalism will always be corrupted by capitalism at the end of the the day. Maybe some systems last a decade or two longer, but it’s all bound to fall.
Problem us that there are too few tech literate politicians
They could educate themselves or hire help, if they weren't corrupt.
Problem is lobbying.
ding-ding-ding
AKA legal corruption
The problem is way worse: big tech ~~contributes to~~bribes politicians to vote according to industry interests.
It's not the politicians job to know everything but to make decisions and legislate based on information from the expertise. It is the people in the know that need to make the proposals for the politicians to bring it up. It's us, the tech literate, that need to write proposals that are informative with arguments derived from trusted sources to make the politicians aware that these are concerns that need to be addressed.
No, it's the politician's job to get in touch with experts of any given field.
They prefer lobbyists instead because they are corrupt.
Sadly, I don't have time or money to do that. You know who does? Big tech does!
You have the time. Get off the internet.
Can't you see I'm working right now?!
Let's all lie belly up and do nothing and accept that nothing will ever change for the better because nobody else is doing it for us and it is impossible for us to change the world all alone. This is exactly the defeatist mindset that the economic elites want people to have.
You could do something small, like find out your representatives and write a personal mail to them, informing them from your point of view. With enough people doing small things and some doing big things the chances for things like this gaining traction are magnitudes bigger than giving up in advance. It takes a few hours to a few days depending on your dedication and whatever cost coffee is in your area of residence.
It's so refreshing finding someone that kind of opinion. I feel less lonely.
