The EU needs to stand firm on their positions on tech and user protection
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/top-eu-official-accuses-trump-admin-of-blackmail_n_69298980e4b0bf7d7e2c5c8e?origin=home-latest-news-unitBig Tech in the US really wants unfettered access to European user data. The EU has stood firm on their position(s) and needs to continue to do so. Big Tech companies are desperate for all that data and the profits that would come with it. Turning the EU into a data mining wild west (like we have here in the US) would be their biggest and best Christmas present ever.
People in the US have no idea just what they give away on a daily basis.
EU...Don't give in!!
