I'm in Australia and I would like to say something about that. Come at us you stupid fascist cunt.

I think the world would be a better place if we collectively perma-banned all American digital services (while helping NGOs/open source projects relocate their infrastructure and legal organisations out of the US).

There would be a lot more competition, a wider variety of product offerings, more regional customisation, a bigger focus on long tail services.

It would be messy at first, but that's the nature of a transition from an oligarch model to a competitive model.

While what I am saying may sound like a pipe dream or pettyness, but from my perspective everything starts from a small step.

And if you don't live in the US (but are unfortunately impacted by their internal politics), you do have to take a more sober attitude towards their claimed commitment to democracy, free markets and rule of law.

Strange, Big Tech has no inherit right to operate in foreign markets. If they want to be in those markets, they need to pay their fair share. I would be glad to see them pull out of those markets, but that won’t easily happen.

Switch to open source everywhere, especially in government systems

Drop Microsoft, block meta, Google, and just get rid of Amazon

I desperately desperately desperately want to read a headline that says "Ukraine signs rare mineral agreement with the European Union. Ukraine becomes a member of the EU and the EU gets large resources of rare minerals to supercharge their own homegrown tech industry and divest it from the United States of Trump"

Thanks Mr Trump - this really helps us sell our non-US technology to the Europeans. Keep on making stuff great again 🤘

"failed foreign economies"

Lol. Lmao, even.

Absolute clown.

It's almost like Trump when to a seminar on the incredible healing power of tariffs, and believed every word he heard.

Lol, Trump is a clown. If netflix or other big tech is charging me for using their service in my country, and they have legal presence and activity in my country, they should be charged taxes in my country because they are generating econimic activity.

“It’s time to be tough on Big Tech! And by tough, I mean I’m going to give Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg and all the rest the most vigorous blowjobs they have ever felt!” -Dumpy Trumpy

He's like that over confident political blowhard on the internet who picked up on one term used in policy at some point and tried to wedge it in as the appropriate answer to everything.

Wonder what the correct answer is... should everybody in the world put even higher taxes on big tech now, or better taxes + tariffs?

Who knew that Trump was so into Hawaiian solidarity. Gonna make the whole nation into an expensive island.

Trump doesn't get Taxes doesn't he

Let's just start accepting the tarrifs and keep doing what we have been doing

I'm not sure what the goal is here, but it doesn't sound well thought out

Us Europe trade war in 5...

He didn’t say anything about regulating them.

Tax revenue is small fry compared to the harm they can (and do?) cause.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

No wait, sorry.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

you mean musk

Trump can tariff his asshole while he goes and fucks himself!

From the article:

Trump’s opposition to DSTs is not new: the Biden administration felt they disproportionately targeted US businesses and threatened 25 percent tariffs if they were not removed.

Trump knows he has complete power and control.
