Let's hope that the rest of the world, specifically Europe smash this ridiculous proposal apart for what it is. Europe has already sorted out USB-C etc. Its not perfect and they don't get everything right, but certainly big enough to make stuff right.

They're too busy forcing chat control and age gates through our collective throats.

Yep. The E.U. has allowed itself to be dominated for too long by the US megacorps. It has the talent, ideas, and manufacturing to tell US firms to bugger off ... and the sooner, the better for us all.

Unless you want hillbilly outrage slop destabilising your continent, you better get control away from American tech companies.

At this stage the EU probably pushed Google to do this. They’ve taken a sharp turn to authoritarianism.

I think the European leadership has changed and we need to watch our elected officials. However don't think Google was pushed into anything. They're now he company that does the opposite of their original manifesto. They're evil don't need that.
