       Increasingly I get the feeling the #EU should simply react with a 10% tariff "until we get California".. just to show how absurd all of this got by now.. 😂 https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c1j8kw866p3t

       @maxschrems We could counter with an equally stupid tariff... or we could do the smarter thing and abolish the anti-circumvention laws that we originally passed against our interests just because the US threatened tariffs otherwise. Now that we get tariffs there is no reason to stay captured by US tech companies. We could have right to repair laws and the right to write, distribute and buy software for the products we buy. There is no reason that John Deere can brick all of Europe's tractors at the same time (or Tesla all Teslas, Apple all iPhones, Microsoft all office suites etc) other than that we agreed to stupid deals in the past to avoid tariffs, which we get now anyway.
