Electronics manufactures must from Saturday fit all devices sold in the EU with USB-C charger ports in a bid by the 27-nation bloc to reduce waste and cut costs for consumers, who will no longer have…
You obviously care very strongly about this, but you should actually look up what the EU’s recent actions are before writing a short novel on Lemmy. In 2024 the EU implemented new rules that allow defendants of potential SLAPP suits to request early dismissal, requiring the plaintiff to prove plausibility of their claims prior to court proceedings, financial, legal, and emotional aid to defendants, requiring of the plaintiff to pay for the proceedings, and rules restricting plaintiffs from selecting jurisdictions more sympathetic to their cause, including those outside the EU. Obviously no solution is perfect, but at the same time the EU is taking reasonable measures to prevent the outcomes you are baselessly fear mongering about. Stop assuming the rest of the world’s governments are as evil and useless as in the US before making unfounded accusations, and actually look up the facts before you make yourself look foolish.
I actually dont. you’re all just dense on what I’m telling you. congrats the EU has implemented a patch that still will not prevent the issue from occurring. putting more red tape in the way of slapp lawsuits won’t prevent them, just make them more expensive. which was never the problem in the first place, since you know, wealthy people are the ones driving them.
secondly, I was using slapp lawsuits were an example of the fundamental problem with using the legal system to address issues.

never made a single accusation. project much? I said the law will have a chilling effect on innovation. which is perfectly okay its a god damn power cord.
you’re the ones who have decided that I’m spouting nonsense and that it doesnt apply in your region despite me literally handing you the evidence that:
it does apply to your region.
the effects im pointing to are literally things you cannot legislate away,
the slapp law your referencing as proof isnt actually proof because (see report) and its been tried before. it helps but doesnt prevent the issues im describing and using as an example.
it doesnt apply to laws around corpo regulations which as i’ve been pointing out suffer from the same fundamental ability to be weaponized.
finally I actually think the EU has been doing good fucking work on holding companies to account. however it doesnt mean we have to ignore the potential side effects and dismiss them.

Ah yes of course, everyone else is dense. My bad I didn’t realize I was speaking with a higher being.
