How long until the EU is in its own firewall "for its citizens' protection" while everyone on the European internet still complains about china having a firewall

    See i'm kinda torn on this. Because it is absolutely true that European internet is going to become more and more insular and monopoly-dominated, especially as the regulations become more and more complex, and the amazing court of the European Union continues to not understand anything about any subject they rule on, other than whatever makes someone money. on the other hand, learning about the GDPR is probably the single best thing I ever did for my professional work, since the entire thing is just the biggest blowjob imaginable to the legal industry in which I work.
