This is what happens when you rely on American tech companies. Apple is pulling shit with Europe, the home of "civilisation", that feels like it's straight out of a stupid reality show over regulations regarding sideloading and privacy. And clowns like this will regurgigate the dumbest and the most worn-out libertarian shit in first tier media outlets.

Tbh I don't get the point behind GDPR. Is it genuinely meant to ensure privacy to some extent or is it just some form of protectionism against American tech companies?

The other side of that is if you don't have one, then there's nothing competing with you.

Start something like EULedger.com and replace Facebook with it.

It would actually be pretty simple as you could use one of the dozens of pre-rolled social media platforms available on GitHub, throw enough development work into it to make it compliant with whatever requirements you need and then get the government to say hey here's one that specific for us.
