I get trying to fight it via legal means, but it is a solved problem.
As an English person I thought yay that means us. Then I remembered. . .
The EU ruling was in 2016, well before Brexit happened in 2019, so we should have the same law.
Except that EU court rulings don’t count in countries that stupidly left, no matter when they happened.
You could pass a similar law yourself, but that’s probably not going to happen with either the abysmal Tories or the feckless centrist party Keir “I want to be Tony Blair” Starmer has turned Labour into in charge 😮💨
Nearly all EU rulings up until the UK left in 2019 are a part of British law. If the ruling was before the Brexit referendum then it would definitely count. Specifically with GDPR, the government confirmed that they adopted the EU’s law.
Furthermore, this isn’t a court ruling, it was a written reply from the European Commission, ie the people that wrote the law.
Not that the social media corps have ever given a shit.
Very much not true.
The app Threads from Meta had to be rewritten due to its extensive tracking in the US market. Not legal in the EU.
They give a shit when they start getting fined based on a % of their revenue
When it’s a percent of the revenue, it’s just the cost of doing business.
Thank fuck for EU and GDPR
