When retaliating against Trump, I hope the EU targets digital services.
Tariffs on Amazon and Facebook incentivises a digital decoupling from the the US, it shows Trump's oligarchs, that supporting Trump is the road to ruin, while NOT preventing the poor from putting food on the table.
Hit those Zuckerbergs.
@randahl
Also ESPECIALLY Franchises and physical services such as fastfood, coffee, delivery, rentals, ride hail, Hilton etc. These are parasites. They underpay, use fake royalties and other schemes to export profits without or little tax. They often require a local to rent the premises and put up capital.Actually BAN the stupid parasites.

The ban on TikTok is still ongoing and due to be completed by Jan 23rd 2026.
TikTok is still operational in the United States because it is due to be divested from ByteDance into U.S. control under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (2024).
Since all US social media companies are tools for foreign influence and propaganda, the exact same security concerns apply in Europe.
For context, Facebook and Cambridge Analytics have already been accused of micro-targeting UK Facebook users ahead of the 2016 Brexit referendum, and more recently Xitter has been accused of amplifying far-right posts in Europe.
Little Tommeh fascist-Christian is just one of the far-right figures who are getting very agitated about the possibility of a crackdown on US social media.

@randahl The only retaliation that would hurt is to tax profit and dividends transfered abroad. Tax on revenue or imports are forwarded to consumers that need the services.

@randahl Before you think about that, think about DNS.

@randahl Hit those Zuckerbergs... i love it!

@om @randahl That's valid, too, but it's not an instant solution. (EU corps can't just throw a switch and offer a no-DRM-on-this-tractor-engine product: there are massive startup/R&D costs). Whereas tariffs on use of US big tech *is* a fast smackdown (although there's a secondary chilling effect on the EU companies paying for them).

@randahl and clouds! Besos' dream is to have no more personal computers in households but instead everything in his clouds.
Imagine this horror & terror coming true.

@randahl Absolutely! Target the income and the monopolies of the American oligarchs (FB, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple etc).
If they stop handing billions of $ to the corrupt trump regime, then there is a chance the regime will fall, and democracy may return.

@randahl and maybe small action for everyone... Download and share to other social media... Have your kids make a tiktok...
