  They banned then on staff devices, but I haven’t heard anything about them considering banning in for everyone. Do you have any details?

    Not EU as a whole, but Germany takes first steps regarding it. EU usually follows with such things.

      It’s just calls talk from what I can see. Nothing even resembling a legal proposal. And EU already can ban it via DSA which actually protects consumers instead of being magical “national security”.

      Also, EU requires unanimity and not everyone thinks singling out TikTok instead of all corporate social media is the right action. This is not going anywhere in the EU.

        … That’s how things start. You generally talk about things first, you have a conversation, and then you make a proposal. This whole thing seems to be complaining about timing or something.

        Talking about it in our parliament is one of the first steps to take for laws.

        Also, EU requires unanimity and not everyone thinks singling out TikTok instead of all corporate social media is the right action. This is not going anywhere in the EU.

        Not exactly wrong but not right either.

        Most weren’t in favor of shit like the north stream pipeline, they didn’t veto it however. We will see.

      I don’t think that’s actually true
