The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.

I am so grateful that the EU exists to set an example for this sort of thing.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can we elect the EU to be our next president instead of the current crop of political windbags?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I’d vote to join the EU in a heartbeat.

Beeper gets a lot of credit, I remember hearing the DoJ was investigating apple over iMessage due to them blocking beeper from supporting iMessage on android.

It’s not a law, it’s a lawsuit.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, they are suing them for breaking the law.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Allegedly breaking the law.

But what I’m pointing out is that the US is not passing new legislation like the EU did.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. They're suing them, alleging that they're breaking the law. Or, as I said "suing them for breaking the law".

Ok, it seems you’ve finally arrived at what’s happening.

That was quite the journey for you!

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Looks more like you've misunderstood my comment, but ok. It's not too important. We seem to agree.

All did was state fact and correct your erroneous statements. If you need to project your miscomprehensions onto me to make yourself feel better, go ahead. My self-esteem can take it.

Have a nice day!

No animosity from me. I do think that the allegation was implicit in my comment however. It is, in my opinion, obvious that when you file a lawsuit you are claiming that the law itself has been broken. Clarifying with allegedly seems superfluous.

You as well!
