Europe is coming after infinite scroll - TikTok's endless feed is now a legal problem

This is wrong. The DMA specifically targets only foreign companies: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/gatekeepers_en

It only applies to the 6 "gatekeepers," five of these are American and one in Chinese: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft. It is legislation designed to tax these companies through fines, moving goalposts, and arbitrary decisions. Please cite me one case where any European company has been fined under the DMA.

Correlation is not the same as causality. Europe simply does not have (m)any big platforms with a VERY strong market position. Because of capital markets, risk adversity, etc.

And the big tech players we have are looked into just as well by the EU based on the whole of the regulations. Some examples:

IMY issues an administrative fine against Spotify for shortcomings regarding transparency | European Data Protection Board

So get your facts straight. Or stay in your bubble.

Oh boohoo, let's all feel sorry for the Merkin multi-billion dollar companies poisoning societies everywhere. You're welcome to keep the pacifying ***** feeds in the backward US, where they belong, amongst barbarians.

Personally I do not like it if we start calling people or countries backward or dumb.
Let's keep things factual and respectful.

Facts and civilized opinions (from both sides) may not necessarily lead to a change of view. Making out will certainly not lead to a change of view and only increase polarization. And polarization/bublization is imho one of the reasons why we are having these discussions.
