In France you have to register to vote as well. It takes about a minute and you can do it online or at the town hall

Ah yes, such accountability. 5 whole ass fines (for an evil company like Google that probably deserves 10x more) of which they made the money back in less than 3 days lmao
I can’t believe someone who seems as smart as you seem to be can look at that and be like “yes, this is meaningful” lmao. GDPR had absolutely no impact whatsoever. It’s the most pointless piece of legislation ever passed by the EU and the competition is pretty stiff in that category. They fucking regulated the shape of fucking bananas and cucumbers. They ban companies from saying drinking water hydrates you.
Look, feel free to believe the EU gives half a fuck, in reality it’s just the same bunch of neoliberal vampires who need to get publicly executed for their crimes against the people.
I went back and added all the fines google got handed
137 millions
Estimates put Google as earning 50 millions per day on ad revenues alone lmao.
GDPR is truly a devastating blow for these companies, I can’t possibly understand how they are able to cope with this incredible financial pressure.
The fact they got fined 5 times should tell you just how many fucks they give about it.
Edit: lmao the second fine they got was a bank breaking 7 millions
I have never in my life got any useful information out of Quora.
In fact, it’s so bad that when I mistakenly click on a Quora link, and I have some time to kill, I read the page to have a solid laugh at all the stupid answers in there that gets promoted.
Budget cuts left, right and center mostly.
Education, healthcare, transportation, everything goes down the shitter in the name of tax cuts and profits for the mega rich.
Medicine is more expensive than ever and many drugs get removed from the reimbursement list every year.
Increased retirement age even though numbers and stats show there is no need to.
Just the average liberalism bullshit similar to every other country.
Lol they fined google a whole 50 million.
And I’m sure all of these things are heavily enforced and companies face hefty fines when they don’t follow these regulations lmao
Yes sorry, I meant privatization, brain fart moment.
I don’t think universal charging or gdpr are meaningful in my everyday life. Do you want to know how I dealt with Apple’s bullshit premium prices on their slightly different shaped plug?
I didn’t buy Apple products. And even with universal charging, I still won’t. I literally do not care about this universal charging thing. USB has been a de facto standard in my life long before the EU decided to randomly care about it.
The only effect of gdpr is having to click on a trillion check marks every time you visit a website if you care about your privacy, or just give up and click the ‘accept all’ button, and even if you turn them all off, there’s still a trillion trackers because of ‘necessary’ ones.
These two ‘achievements’ are the most meaningless things ever.
The thing that actually impacts my life, for example, is the EU’s constant fight against biodiversity, by preventing the sales of any seed that isn’t pre-approved in a list designed by some corrupt official paid by Monsanto and friends.
The EU can get fucked.
I didn’t say RN would do better. I said they would be the same.
When someone fucks my ass, it doesn’t matter if they pretend not to or if they’re open about it, I still have an assful of dick
We’re already led by the right wing though.
The EU can get fucked too. They forced the fishermen who received subsidies because of the crazy oil prices that forced them to stay in port to return the money. They forced the nationalisation privatization of our energy production, of our railways, etc. Things that shouldn’t be operated around profit margins are now forced to pay dividends to greedy cunts wo provide nothing of value to our society.
A significant portion of our problems today is due to the loss of economic freedom and the forced capitalist march led by the eurocrats.
Burn everything down, make heads roll.
No.
There’s nothing RN could do that’s be different from all the shit liberals have done to our country.
Healthcare ruined: check.
Education ruined: you bet.
Fascist police: yup.
Smaller and smaller social nets: been there done that.
It’ll be more of the same, except without the pretense
Liberals have been fucking our country for decades.
Not sure that’s be worse than the years of liberalism we’ve been dealing with for decades.
France has been led by liberals for years now, enshittified without mercy by these rich fucks, these EU sellouts. Our education is fucked, out healthcare is fucked, our lifestyle is fucked, all to please these rich cunts. it’s time we bring out the guillotine again.
Fuck the EU, fuck macron, fuck these pretend left wing cucks from LFI and PS, fuck the nazi cunts.
Only one solution, revolution. Heads need to roll again to remind them who’s in charge.
The limit is relatively low so that you don’t have to flood HR with reports because a supplier gave you a branded pen or a contractor paid for a burger while you were out fixing stuff.
and once a girl was being bigoted, he slapped her for it, and only he got punished.
Oh so they are capable of treating him like a guy.
EMP systems usually are heavily regulated for a very, very good handful of reasons.
I just shoot them with a pellet gun.
