#12i'm starting to feel like the EU found a business model to compensate for the fiscal tricks large companies are doing to avoid paying taxes.
My only hope is that those laws won't prevent a new major high tech company to appear in the EU.

#13I was wondering, I've recently picked up Tiktok and on the live streams, despite it saying that you need 1000 followers and be 18 years old, I saw so many kids, live streaming.
I was wondering why they didn't enforce their own rules.
I'm guessing, too large amount of streamers, but even if you had only one dedicated person, you'd certainly find enough teens or children live streaming.
So this is quite the timely ruling.
However why would people between 13 and 18 be prohibited from streaming? If you say "the lurking perverts", that argument doesn't work for chat control, so why should it work here? It's a moot point. Sexual content is not allowed on Tiktok. You can see women in bikinis, but you can see them, even topless, in real life on public beaches too. So what other reason would there be?

#14This is pretty interesting time with the social media / data companies. Will this be the new normal? Where, like clock work, another fine gets announced? Or will we transition through this period into one where they know how to, and also do, comply and the regulations don't change a ton?
They know how to comply, but that would hurt their bottom line.

In one case you’re seeing a topless woman on the beach
In the other case you have anonymous strangers rewarding children for edging closer to sexual performances
