As an American, I'm here for it, go EU go! Make it hurt!
I don't get it. Why do Americans want to hurt themselves so badly? Shooting yourself in the foot? "Nah men, that's for children." Russian roulette? "Boooring, why just 1 bullet in the chamber when you can do 6 instead."
It's so obvious how your current president with his clown army is set to destroy the country yet the American people were all for it and voted him back, after a horrible first term. Everyone is in support of mega corps and the ultra rich and don't care it will come out of their own pocket.
And now you're in support of the EU to ban American services, something which would hurt the country and everyone in it, making it harder for you to get a job, pay for groceries, get proper health care and education, waving away your human rights and freedom of expression.
I'm a European, to me it looks like the movie Idiocracy was an understatement when I look at the US. It's a country filled with masochist toddlers who argue about how big their graves should be while digging those themselves with lightning speed.
I get it, you're unhappy with the current situation, but supporting the ones who will hurt you, is going to hurt you. If I was in your situation I'd say "yeah EU, I get it, but it will be at the cost of the American people because those mega corps will take their loss out of our paychecks and welfare."
But you do you! Good luck mate!

Because idiots clearly need to feel pain in order to leave this cult.

At this point I'm quickly getting to the "...rebellion becomes duty" phase on this issue. Everything is getting so unreasonable.
I'm also just worried about getting served because I forgot to turn on an obfuscation service or something lol...

I was today's years old (and that is a lot) when I found out Usenet is still alive and can be used to get... Hmmm... Entertainment. Where should I start if I want to get rid of Netflix?

We tariff the ads.
"Straight for the gonads", but in tech oligarchy speak is "straight for the ad revenue".

Yes!!! I’ve been wanting this! Let’s put costs on all the US apps and sites - that way a lot of Europeans will actually start using the amazing European alternatives that we already have, keeping our money in Europe for our own companies to invest with, to become even greater! I’m all in!

Hope im wrong but Europe is still acting like they cant do anything without the US.
Acting like they can't do anything without the US?
The continent is prepping for a US & Russian led invasion if anything (none of which are to be purchased from the US either)
EU to tax US digital services in response to trump's tariffs
EU push for an alternative to US operating systems
Whilst it was true that the EU relied on the US for many things, (the primary being digital services), they've proven themselves to be a dangerous partner who has shown active disdain for us, the movement to exile American tech has begun, and will likely end in a similar vein to how Chinese tech is viewed here.

So you’re now mad at people for realizing they’re the baddie and wanting change?
What don’t you get? America runs on money. Maybe you should trust us when we say we deserve something. We know what makes these beasts wail
It's the self destructive thinking that gets me frustrated. By destroying themselves they take down so many others, bringing an insane amount of agony, suffering and death.

If this raises prices of Netflix, Gamepass, ... I will immediately cancel them rather than pay the hike.
