    You should also know that hosting a service in the US without explicitly denying service to Europeans, and not abiding by the GDPR makes you liable to criminal prosecution in the US. US federal law has a version of GDPR that does not protect US citizens, just EU ones.

    Except Lemmy. I wish luck to anyone trying to get rid of their comments when they could have been federated to any number of known and unknown servers throughout pretty much any country in the world. The legal nightmares to get it enforced basically make it a non-starter.

      The right to be forgotten is a separate thing from GDPR. GDPR lets the EU go after criminals illegally using private data, like Facebook.

      Edit: This is wrong. The right to be forgotten appears in Recitals 65 and 66 and in Article 17 of the GDPR.

    Very first thing on the list - support local businesses

    Aye they need the support because the taxes are fucking crippling for small business 😅

    But at least the taxes aren’t quite so much being funnelled into “turning Palestinian toddlers into skeletons”

    Europe is also leading the world in terms of progressive AI laws, something we’re not likely to see in any meaningful way for some time here in the US.

      yepp, but I’ve seen criticism about these laws holding back AI companies’ development. In that they can’t just steal a tonne of data and get away with it

        Yeah, that’s always the argument on the part of corpos: “This regulation is killing our profits, waaa waaa waaa.”

        These laws can’t do anything these grifter-companies full of misguided attempts to mis-use LLMs and LAMs aren’t doing to themselves already, tbh.

        It’s all just a huge bubble of C-suites blowing hot smoke up each other’s arses.
