Yes please
How do we tariff ‘free’ apps like Facebook and Instagram?
We tariff the ads.

Tariff the advertisers. Also, strictly enforce GDPR.
No, not tariffs. Tariffs would make Europeans pay more.
Hit the US where it hurts: intellectual property. The US forced the rest of the world to adopt its absurd intellectual property protections as a condition of getting tariff-free access to the US markets. Now that the US has reneged on that, the EU should restore rights to EU citizens that were restricted with these new laws.
Europe is weak and will not risk upsetting Trump.
Don’t count on it
Hope im wrong but Europe is still acting like they cant do anything without the US.
Acting like they can’t do anything without the US?
The continent is prepping for a US & Russian led invasion if anything (none of which are to be purchased from the US either)
EU to tax US digital services in response to trump’s tariffs
EU push for an alternative to US operating systems
Whilst it was true that the EU relied on the US for many things, (the primary being digital services), they’ve proven themselves to be a dangerous partner who has shown active disdain for us, the movement to exile American tech has begun, and will likely end in a similar vein to how Chinese tech is viewed here.
Well lets see if they actually do it.
Either way, I feel like im living in some parallell universe now where all the adults left the planet.
Seeing adult human beings act like this is depressing. Now America is making countries fight eachother again. We had peace in Europe for decades.
Did some idiot from the signal chat somehow find their way to lemmy?
Yes!!! I’ve been wanting this! Let’s put costs on all the US apps and sites - that way a lot of Europeans will actually start using the amazing European alternatives that we already have, keeping our money in Europe for our own companies to invest with, to become even greater! I’m all in! 💪🏻
Americans would love some Elon and other scumbag free alternatives beyond what we have now.
Having GDPR protections by default instead of having to trick companies into thinking they shouldn’t abuse your rights? Yes please.
Just build a wall around the US please. And then stay in.
The European leaders don’t have the balls to impose tariffs on Big Tech!
If Europeans counterparts to Google, ms and apple existed, yes. They need to be offered companies, which can rely on open source in the end, not just “open source” as an alternative, which is often a mantra here: they understand nothing about tech!
The US is a failed state and the rest of the world needs to treat it as such
Please, finally do that!
Fucking do it. Those apps are hot air. No one needs them. There’s no problem replacing them.
If this raises prices of Netflix, Gamepass, … I will immediately cancel them rather than pay the hike.
Cancel them anyway.
What about Steam?
The year of GOG lmao
Highly recommend replacing those with a Usenet subscription!
I was today’s years old (and that is a lot) when I found out Usenet is still alive and can be used to get… Hmmm… Entertainment. Where should I start if I want to get rid of Netflix?
Real debrid paired with infuse , You’re only bottleneck is however fast your Internet you are paying for, this works if you have an iPhone and or a Apple TV, but pirate service is still fast and works with whatever device you have
Google “freemediaheckyeah” (idk if can post links to stuff like this on this board, should be the first .net result though)
There is a category for downloads and in that category there is a subsection for Usenet with a guide and additional resources.
Have fun and don’t forget to ask the horse what he wants to do.
Honestly I’m not the best resource for this information as somebody else set up my account, but I think there’s a usenet community on Lemmy!
Come on, guys. You know the first rule of Usenet.
FUCK
At this point I’m quickly getting to the “…rebellion becomes duty” phase on this issue. Everything is getting so unreasonable.
I’m also just worried about getting served because I forgot to turn on an obfuscation service or something lol…
Downloading content is mostly legal around the world. Uploading content is illegal pretty much everywhere.
Usenet just downloads so it’s not as illegal. For torrenting you need a VPN
Usenet isn’t as easy to get caught using as torrents just because of how it works. I don’t know enough to explain why, I just know this haha.
Real debrid. It won’t help you find the content but once you do, it makes getting it practically full proof and so you’ll never get caught and it’s only like four dollars a month so it’s way cheaper than a VPN
Can someone inform my uninformed self what Usenet is useful for
Sailing the high seas
Shush
Do it!
