Maybe we shouldn’t buy from Ireland either. Not only that Ireland attracts Amazon, Meta, X & Co with its low tax politics at the expense of others. It also has a harmless GDPR office (which we know since the Schrems vs Meta cases) and is unwilling to fullfill EU’s Digital Service Act. Ireland is a compliant sidekick of US big business companies and data collectores.

Recently an Austrian Journalist tried to make X deleting hate speach and since nothing happened later tried to reveal the identity of a poster who violates Austrian law. Irland helped X perfectly to stay in its extralegal sphere. The original is in German Language, but the translation might be fine enough (if it wasn’t Google).

    Hi, mod here: let’s not get carried away by geopolitical topics and try to stay on topic (GDPR, handling GDPR inquiries, …).
