Seems like that is the default course of action when one country is doing a “bad” thing that the US or Europe doesn’t like.
I’ll admit that I don’t really know how that works, or how it’s enforced, or whatever. But could the EU and/or Canada or even China impose sanctions on the US now since the US is doing, um, very bad things?
Sure. But that quickly turns into
No Microsoft, google, or Apple. No GitHub, Intel, or AMD. No Facebook or Netflix, Disney, etc.
It is nearly impossible to escape financial involvement with USA companies, and it’s why countries under sanctions from USA are not wealthy.
Not selling me on those downsides. Sounds like a much better world without those.
Get the EU and Canada on chip manufacturing and remove the American anti circumvention laws and get the hackers on jailbreaking their tech.

Kind of funny how you said that to no Google, then posted a YouTube link.
It’s for the stupid normies that refuse to click on other websites.

Corey Doctorow had a presentation this past week at the C3 hacker conference arguing that all our allies only agreed to be ruled by US tech hegemony in exchange for free trade agreements, and if they want a win-win solution to getting f’d, they should repeal their laws against jailbreaking US tech.
Tech sovereignty is already (finally) an issue the rest of the world is waking up to. I hope they go much farther and faster.
This is why I’m rooting for Chinese IT to catch up. We need some fucking diversity and competition.
But that’s exactly the point. Losing those companies large portions of their customer base will have them quickly lobbying in your favor.
