Why shouldn't our sovereign government control things as they please? That's the whole point of sovereignty - people elect government, government makes rules.
Democratically elected governments should have no say as to how many billions of dollars of market activity tech oligarchs are entitled to capture and redirect towards their very noble goal of winning the competition to see who can build the biggest yacht.
And, of course, building bunkers for when enough of the general population eventually catches onto and gets tired of the grift...
10% of Microsoft's turnover is $28b, 10% of amazon is $71b
The goal here is to make sure these companies obey the law though, which big tech companies seem to think is optional.
Who’s on each side of the gate?
On one side, consumers. On the other, vendors.
And when everyone is a gatekeeper … no one is
Thats not how it works
What are you even trying to say?
that before long, everyone will be declared a gatekeeper, just so EU can control everything as they please.
You need at least 7.5B euro turnover and 45M MAU in the EU to have a chance to qualify. It's not going to be everyone.
