israel is a bordered, sovereign, tech savvy, united nations member nation that recognizes the rights of its ethnic and religious minority citizens (rights which leftists CLAIM to hold dear) geometrically better than any other nation in the middle east.

it's far more than just a "policy".

They rewrote their privacy policy to be the classic tech bro "we get the rights to use your stuff for our service" keeping it as open as possible.

They literally deleted a section saying "Does Firefox take my data? We don't and never will, it's a promise!" and you can see the git diff. joke company

The ability to 🩸💰 on mega investments like AI & keep going IS the advantage 🇺🇸 has over the 🌎 . Another way to look at it is, yes it’s a bubble; but nobody would have gotten the tech this far without a mega insurance policy like a bailout to keep them rich if it pops. 🇺🇸 can’t “afford” to fall behind

It is imperative, that the EU/Europeans understand, this is a big tech lobbying strategy. This initiative came straight from the Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft lobbying playbook. This is not a winning US policy, it’s a big tech monopoly initiative. Act accordingly. #monopolytech #DMA #DSA
