Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from “social” media?

    If the products or “products” being withheld are deemed useful by their users, you’re bound to have someone filling the gap created by the butthurt tech giants leaving. Without all the associated data vulturing.

      If we’re really lucky, those replacements might even become competition for the original products outside the EU, and drive the data vultures out of business.

      (Something has to go right in this timeline eventually, right?)

        I feel like there’s a good chance that this happens, as long as they catch inside the EU, due to network effect.
