@einsiedlerspiel I'm not sure there's much that could be done to resist it from Europe anyway, so I don't know what you're making a fuss about.

@benjamineskola Laws that I don't have direct influence on, not even the bit of voting power i might have had in the us, affecting what kinda control mechanisms are normalized in software i rely on? How could that be upsetting. The US exports these policies.

@benjamineskola @einsiedlerspiel Europe could refuse to do the same thing that enabled DMCA into the menace it is. This time they could say no to enforcing America’s bad laws on their citizenry. In that case, you don’t like California law, don’t go to California. Before you say that’s impossible, please note that lots of countries refused to enforce Soviet laws against black markets. Of course, if Britain and Europe are passing their own age gating laws, that doesn’t work.
