This but unironically. Snuff Google, Microsoft and Apple with the passion of a thousand suns and never let their ashes rise again to threaten fair people.

Signed, an American who is fed up with adslop and saasslop propaganda. Do not reward immoral megacorps.

As a person who's lived in Europe, I encourage you to try it. You'll find that there are some upsides to all the regulation, but also many downsides. More than you'd expect if you've never lived and worked in Europe before. Many things you take for granted - don't even think about - either don't work at all, or don't work well.

Not knocking Europe, but there's too much of a tendency online to picture Europe as some kind of Disneyland. Some of this is down to Americans who only know Europe from two-week holidays and picture it as a holiday utopia, some of it is Europeans who only know America from reality television and picture it as a hellscape.

Pop discourse != reality.
