    I hate how these headlines are always phrased as “Google/Microsoft/Apple to let users XYZ”

    No. They’re not the ones “letting” it happen. They aren’t the ones calling the shots here. The EU told them to do something and they were forced to comply.

    Remember that companies aren’t in charge. They can be put in their place if there is widespread political will to do so.
