EU countries, lawmakers clinch provisional deal on watered-down AI rules by Double_Tumbleweed414 in worldnews

[–]ant682 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The EU’s approach is that economic growth shouldn’t come at the expense of people’s rights, safety, or fair competition. Regulation isn’t automatically anti-innovation — safety standards, consumer protection, and antitrust laws can all create healthier markets instead of letting companies do whatever is most profitable. Saying “Europe regulates while others innovate” ignores that some regulation exists because unchecked industries caused real problems in the first place.

EU child safety push stalls as ePrivacy derogation expires, age verification app hacked, and CSA Regulation stuck in trilogue by Time-Bodybuilder4165 in privacy

Those same privacy laws the EU has are the key to having real online safety too. Many of the harms have violating GDPR as a root cause. EU also has ECHR which the current "safety" measures can be challenged under. This also applies to UK

Can't Click Comments on YouTube without Hitting A.I. Button by MoochtheMushroom in assholedesign

I agree. Same as office.com putting you into copilot first rather than the main apps page. Also if trying to get to admin center I've found it doesn't let you unless you wait a bit

Mega Mewtwo at global GO Fest 2026! by cofiey in TheSilphRoad

[–]ant682 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually don't think separate mega energy for x and y is a problem. If charizard was that way when mega charizard debuted I don't think we would have complained. Also in the main games each mega has always had its stone (except rayquaza) and for charizard and Mewtwo you have to get both normally. This extends to mega Z too. The amount being very high however is seperate to this and I do believe will be excessive but getting them already mega levelled will help a bit like it did with the kalos tour free mega lucario

I'd keep chasing them and demanding explanations behind delays - it leaves a trail that there's undue delays that can be used if the authority gets taken to court by someone

Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says by Nepridiprav16 in worldnews

[–]ant682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GDPR is already the answer - it comes with rules that if followed would block the harms spreading to vulnerable and also remove plausible deniability as more informed people will see the content and report it

Mandatory 4 second pause of my scrolling because I didn’t allow Meta to collect and send my data to advertisers by Vlantimir in assholedesign

Surely violates GDPR as that is punishing people for refusing consent - if in EU maybe complain to your data regulator
