Sounds like another case of US tech companies fucking with the web of EU regulations to nobody's benefit but their own.

It's no wonder they moved to another tax haven. Sorry, sorry. The EU doesn't have tax havens according to their own rules. Low tax threshold geographic jurisdictions.

Wait isn't Ireland an EU tax haven?

What's the joke about? Does Ireland block everything that comes from the Netherlands?

It's more a "If a company doesn't comply with a coutry's regulations then it can't operate in that country" thing and not a joke.

For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn't want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.

For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn't want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.

Though the bigger part of that was that their representative quit, and by Brazilian law, companies that operate in Brazil must have a representative in the country.

Twitter tried to sidestep that by not paying the fine, and also not having a representative, so the fine couldn't be applied that way. In response, the judge presiding over the cause required Twitter be blocked.

Time for the DSA and the DMA to be applied to reddit.

Wanna break laws by skirting jurisdiction semantics? Fine; The US should just block Reddit.

I wonder what they would do if a social platform based on IPFS got popular.
