Comment on India Banned TikTok, It Didn’t Go Well
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 7 months agoIt’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.
Talking about it in our parliament is one of the first steps to take for laws.

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.
By their own admission, they need TikTok:
And is it even being brought to the full parliament? The article only mentioned intelligence committee.

Bad comparison. Unlike with banning TikTok, which would piss off a big part of EU population and give nothing in return, the pipeline offered cheaper energy prices, which all countries could take a political win on, despite the many valid concerns it had.
Yes Scholz is a idiot, i know. He either is gone for solid months or when he is somewhere he talks shit.
AFD literally uses that shit as propaganda Mashine. Wich it is. And baning it for security reasons would fuck off some addicts but it wouldn’t be a problem, as seen in the enormous protests regarding the “new” (illigal) copyright legislation (article 13) they don’t give a single shit about what some people think or say. And nobody would go protest for tiktok.
And yes, the comparison was not perfect, but its a better known example, France for example was very much against it until Germany agreed to label nuclear as green energy.

… 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.

If you have any information to prove me wrong, I’m open to hearing it.

Again, the start of everything is to talk. That you are not satisfied that the talks are not fast enough, or widespread enough, or whatever doesn’t mean what you are insinuating.
