    I’m a Linux guy and I don’t really care about Windows, but I’m glad to see this happening and every day I thank Europe for being the main entity fighting for regulation of big tech monopolies, because America is really failing.

      Its nuts that during the Obama admin, all anyone cared about was the threat of zero privacy. Now everyone in the US has surrendered to it, because our politicians have sold our digital privacy rights to the tech companies.

      VPN to Sweden, update Windows to the EEA version, profit?

      I’m not holding my breath, but we can hope.

    As an American, all I can say is thank you Europe for continuing to have sensible legislation that forces these companies to have decent policies worldwide if only to comply with EU laws. I only use Windows on my company provided laptop but just because I don’t need to worry about it personally doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t care about how it affects others.

    ABOUT FUCKING TIME. Take edge and shove it so far up your data tracking sphincter of a face hole.

    Can we please get these laws on a global level.

    So apparently having consumer-friendly laws does in fact lead to better products. Cool.

    Perhaps the USA and other countries should follow the EU’s good example on this.

    Thank you Europe. Once again you prove yourself to be what we all aspire to be.
