When are they tanking the market further with massive counter tarrifs?

I think it's wise to let the chaos play out. I don't think they need to give Trump an excuse that when stock markets bleeds and the economy risks going into reverse, that it has something to do with Europe. At least not yet.
Let it blink for a few days that *this* is ALL Trump's fault, then retaliate further.

The EU can

can prevent countries from participating in public EU tenders

prohibit a country from investing in the EU

invalidate patents and introduce export bans

All of which would destroy stability in the US market even further.

How are new EU sanctions supposed to move Russian markets? They've already sanctioned everything important that they're willing to sanction

prohibit a country from investing in the EU

Sounds good, go for it bud. Let's see how that plays out

what are they going to tariff? LNG? When they're now cut off from Russia?
Europe should've remained neutral now they just have to perma-cuck until they realise that they have to have an economy that doesn't revolve around dick-sucking

lowered earnings are priced in

Kys incel

They lack the cards

Sorry, I couldn't hear that over the sound of your walmart sharts, could you repeat that?

Digital stuff most likely. Europe has been wanting to tariff US digital services for a long time now to make room for european solutions, but has been delaying it because USA has thrown a hissyfit every time it has been mentioned. What's a better chance to implement it than when USA is doing a global tantrum and the potential market effects can simply be blamed on Trump?

They are going to tactfully hurt US stocks as much as possible. Sell the fucking bounce lads

but I'm British anon

EU is sort of doing that already with insane tech regulation (one of the few NTBs where trump would have a point) but it just has the effect of killing any possibility of domestic industry because no tech company wants to do GDPR compliance exercises every time they update an app
besides I don't think you can 'tariff' Microsoft/Google/Facebook/whatever

You know that orange retarded sanctions together with OPEC deciding to gather more oil dropped russian economy harder than any Yuro sanctions would?

OPEC deciding to gather more oil

that's the real mystery in all this. why are they doing it?

tech regulations are actually bad

I think regulations that protects the individuals over tech companies are pretty based actually.

EU is sort of doing that already with insane tech regulation

Indeed, and as you said it has not really worked as intented when it has had to apply equally on both native and foreign services.
But tariffs are literally protectionist, and USA can't throw a hissyfit when they are doing the same by themselves.

I don't think you can 'tariff' Microsoft/Google/Facebook/whatever

Why not? Just slap that 20% tariff on every windows purchase or google add purchase.

I agree in principle, but Yuros manage to right word salad unenforceable garbage instead of things that protect consumers.

and that's fine if you want companies to subsidise make-work jobs for pencil pushers to complete risk assessments and do audits but just know that that comes at a price

The price of freedom yeah.

cool, so don't complain that we'll get raped by china and the US

No one’s gonna be raped by the US anytime soon anon.

in the tech sector where the EU actually has no real control or levers to pull? get real anon

data protection is such a meme when all our professional service companies and banks have outsource functions in india and that data ends up god knows where

and USA can't throw a hissyfit when they are doing the same by themselves

I don't know how you can type this when the US' strategy right now is precisely holding the economy hostage and threatening the world with escalating tariffs if they get counter tariffs placed on them.
I do agree that this is probably the best moment to put something on American service providers for literally leeching off their data and manipulating the people but I don't have much faith in the EU easing the advent of local alternatives.

We forced Apple to make their shit with USB-C, among other things.
Also not tech related but not having amerifat food available is a big win. So is not allowing their overkill pesticides.

When are they tanking the market further with massive counter tarrifs?

wait for 14:40 when the EU trade press conference starts :D
right before US markets open kek

also there won't be any tanking other than the US
if Meloni caved, they're gonna activate the

Anti-Coercion Instrument

most likely announced alongside funding for EU alternatives

probably banning (or restricting) some US business operations in the EU

because the EU is the largest economic Bloc in the world
the markets literally only care about the US, EU and China
rest is irrelevant / reacts to these 3

Sounds good, go for it bud. Let's see how that plays out

t. MAGAtard who has the economic understanding of a 3y old

excluding US banks from EU bonds market would literally Armageddon for most US banks

GDPR compliance

kek
retard

GDPR compliance is like 2 database queries and an information page you need to have
costs basically nothing

GDPR hate is pure populism
just a scapegoat for other things

We forced Apple to make their shit with USB-C

sure, but now you're in a protracted legal humiliation ritual because you wrote some retarded Digital markets act when you could have just said, though shalt not restrict the installation of 3rd party software.

always wondered how GDPR would work if you use immutable or tamper resistant storage

I wonder the aggregate economic impact of literally trillions of individual instances of having to pointlessly click "yes I consent" to every fucking webpage you visit is

It takes a while for the EU to do anything.

my bad I should have said the EU General Product Safety Regulation, the EU DORA Regulation, the NIS2 Directive, the German Accessibility Strengthening Law, the EU AI Act, the European Media Freedom Act, the EU Data Act, the EU Product Liability Directive, and GDPR

always wondered how GDPR would work if you use immutable or tamper resistant storage

not that complicated

firstly GDPR is only concerned with personal data
when you deal with businesses only, it's irrelevant

and with personal data
the only question you have to ask yourself as a business is

do I have a reason to collect and store / keep the data to provide my service

so even with immutable storage
Right to Erasure doesn't mean you have to delete everything
if there is a legal reason or more broadly a valid reason to keep the data you can keep it

e.g.

transaction history, think of blockchain

keep deleted account name so no one in the future can take the same name and impersonate deleted person, think of mails (gmail actually does this)

so you just have to be mindful on what you put on your immutable storage

GDPR is mainly made to let people delete their social media accounts and stop retarded mass data collection

LMAO, europeans always think one day they will stand up to America. it will NEVER happen

Gee, the negotiation alliance based on mutual negotiation says it will negotiate.
For some reason fatties seem to think negotiation means begging, which is complete opposite of the word.

how many negotiations have been announced? how many of them resulted in any action?

i understand the gist of your post that there is too much regulation
which I agree

but outside of content moderation the EU really doesn't have much regulation which makes more work
unless you are a borderline retarded code monkey

just as example

NIS2 Directive

literally just basic security mechanisms (in most countries implementations)
and some reporting for public agencies

German Accessibility Strengthening Law

every sane UI design already complies

EU DORA

that's literally only share your incident board with the local financial authorities

EU Data Act

that's, again, just a database query where you send the results to your customers

European Media Freedom Act

has nothing to do with data...!

EU AI Act

you want to get automatically fired by an AI??
for one I actually support that one, well made regulation

sounds awfully like an list by ChatGPT
because you missed the actual tech regulations like DMA and DSA

EU can't do anything

there are 450 milion Euros, they have the second highest purchasing power in the world, they are the second largest economic block but above all market in the world.
when the chinese bitch you get a china model
when the EU bitches you get a global change for everyone
