Who Got Next Flex? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by demosthememes@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/memes@lemmy.world
 

I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won't do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I'll join X 😬 & pay his subscription for a year. πŸ‘€

I realised something. If all of these big tech firms collectively banded together and left the EU market in joint protest towards their regulations, how quickly would these countries go into civil unrest?

Social media addiction is no joke...

People might actually get some rest. The last few years have been hectic due to social media.
I see your point though. Like how people took to the streets to protest the change of coca cola in '85. One protester went as far as say:

β€œThis makes me angry. I'm angry, and I'm mad. I feel injured. Betrayed. Like a sacred trust has been violated ... People are having anxiety headaches. They've been placed in a distressed state."

... because New Coke didn't taste the same - they had to go back to coke 'classic'. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
