just grow a pair and ban twitter, spacex, starlink, and tesla from operating in europe already.
there's no good reason to let them operate.
They’re mostly all national security threats, especially with Elon and Putin having a special relationship.
I mean AfD is also pro-russia AND have neo-nazi's in its ranks.
They are at 20% in polls just before the german election.
I don't think many people have as many issues as they should have with russia or they just don't care.
don't ban starlink pls
Why not? Asking genuinely.
Ukraine and other countries where fixed infrastructure is failing iirc benefit from having low cost Internet access.
Have you never been to small and poor ^/s^ countries like Germany where this sometimes is the best option for getting internet access? ^/srs^
Edit: Added tone indicators because no one got it
Mate tf are you on about? Small and poor like Germany?
In the context of Internet connectivity it might as well be (and I think that's what the joke was about). Fiber build-out is atrocious and large areas are stuck on 16mbps speeds. Coincidentally cell coverage also sucks in these areas so starlink is the only way to get Internet with decent speed.
That's not "small and poor".
Edit: Oh, it was a German "joke". Now I understand. :)
Although I'm REALLY skeptical that for more than maybe 1% of the population that Starlink is the best option.
German humor :)
That would be more than 800k people, although the number of affected people does not make a difference. You don't even think about taking communication away from anyone without there being a replacement for them. And in the scope of Germany, this means that we'll need starlink access for the next decade or so.
Whaaat?
Starlink, in some places in Germany is the only usable option. We have shitty infrastructure.
I think it was the statement that Germany is a "small and poor country" that they were whaaaating about.
Tesla is getting a buttload of cash from the EU soon in climate compensation (also Volvo but not so much).
ok so people who already have teslas should be fucked? if they will be forced to stop operation, some service offerings will not be available. nice
a car isnt a political statement for everybody, for some people its a fucking tool
edit: modifying software of cars in general is highly regulated. so banning tesla would create issues for people having those cars, i would love to “homebrew” them but hey, thats fucking illegal
As you said, they are services. They are not required.
How is it even related to services?
repair, checkup and support services maby? all the stuff a car needs in its lifetime? or did i get something wrong?
Dunno. Sounds like something anti-monopoly body should have banned anyway.
jup… should have….
this could create e-waste if managed improperly
