The EU (where I live) is a bureaucracy nightmare sometimes, and is often far too removed from citizens. It has a gazillion problems, but as far as data protections and customer rights it does some things half right.
I live in the EU and I’m happy we have it, because otherwise we wouldn’t have many consumer protection laws (either because my government is stupid or because we wouldn’t have enough leverage as a single country).
Many things we now take for granted are only possible thanks to the EU, like the 2-years warranty on electronic/household products.
They were allowed to charge less, just not mention or link to it in any way. Proton has been doing it for a while that the Apple in-app purchases are roughly 30% higher.
Until recently, apps were not even allowed to charge less outside their apps than on the app store or to link to outside stores.
We should thank the European Union for that.
Thanks European Union
Merci, union européenne
Hey, let’s do it in all official languages of the EU. So far we’ve had English and French.
