Wow, this act looks amazing. I hope it will go through. What is the usual timeline for these kinds of acts?

You got me so thrilled that I posted it for a discussion. Right here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33309576

It already has gone through, it goes into effect from the 1st of November and will become applicable in May.
That looks very good. And even if it starts in Europe it makes enough sense as to other countries to follow.
Agreed that it looks great, but there is zero chance it gets implemented in the US. Not with the tech lobbying money floating around in Washington.
