That’s one thing, but I think regurgitating it and claiming it as your own is a completely different thing.

Wait, how does Google make money off of paywalled contents?
My general approach to this tends to be to identify what makes me happy in life, splurge on those, save on everything else. For example, I love computers, so I’d splurge on parts, but religiously meal prep to save on food.
It doesn’t make sense too, like it’s bad enough even if just one died.
Even ignoring the surveillance aspect of ads, which I could go on a massive rant about, Google and other ad platforms themselves doesn’t seem to care about harming people with malvertising and scam ads. Why should I care about their revenue?
I’d imagine if, say Signal, refuses to comply and gets banned from the EU, one could always use a VPN. I think that nothing short of either a full global ban or implementing a version of The Great Wall of China would allow these ridiculous laws to be enforced. Even then, there will always be ways around it for those willing to go the extra mile.
Honestly, they could at least wait and see what happens in the UK before proposing something similar. They literally have a free guinea pig next door.
It’s such a shame though, since as far as I know, the EU have had such an amazing track record. I’d expect no less from big tech, but not the EU.
I wish people who proposes laws and regulations that violates human rights with provable intent to do just that would be fined or imprisoned.
Are adblockers even illegal? I didn’t think it was.
I mean as someone of Chinese descent who is repulsed by the Chinese government’s actions despite them looking like me, I think my existence alone disproves your argument. I don’t doubt that there are some people who do think like that, but I do doubt that they make up anywhere near a majority.
The government, not the people, but yeah I agree
I know right, imagine putting in so much effort just to strip some people of their most basic and fundamental human rights and thinking you’re the victim.
It is the lesser of two evils imo. Not saying that AMD is any good, their alternatives are just that bad.
AMD still has better Linux support for now, which is about 90% of the reason I went with them for now.
Why not Brave at least?
I feel like common knowledge of all the shit big tech companies have pulled throughout their history is sufficient justification for giving massive fines.
Wish GDPR had the same kind of teeth.
True, that’s part of the reason I switched to Gentoo
Also, I’m pretty sure the argument is more about the unequal enforcement of the law. Copyright should be either enforced fairly or not at all. If AI is allowed to scrape content and regurgitate it, piracy should also be legal.
