Europeans often bristle at the idea of American Exceptionalism. They will indignantly ask what is better about “The American Way”. Well, they just made the case for us. The European Union has been relentlessly attacking American tech companies in the past few years. They do it under the guise of “helping the consumer” but nothing could be further from the truth.
The latest example of the EU’s hubris is manipulating Apple to accept the RCS messaging system. Were Apple customers clamoring for this? No. Were specific corporations with billion dollar investments at stake asking for this? Yes.
Front Page Tech has done a great job of exposing the dark side of what the EU is doing. Check out John’s latest video about one specific benefactor of the EU’s meddling in business.
Just like with opening up the iOS AppStore, most attacks on Apple are from behind-the-scenes corporations who want a piece of Apple’s large and profitable market. A market that Apple has invested billions of dollars into cultivating and protecting. And Apple still does it’s best to give these customers the best experience possible. Does that mean not allowing various options which Apple thinks would be hurting customer security and safety? Often that is a yes.
There is a murky connection between the EU and various corporations. It appears to all that corporate CEO’s are pulling the strings of EU politicians to introduce bills which favor their corporation. That fact that the EU consistently shows that it has allowed itself to be used as a battering ram for the highest bidder is disgusting. Apple isn’t the only target. It’s only one of the most high profile.
