MEPs have sharply criticized the plan. “Our fear is that the implementation of our laws and standards will be called into question by American companies,” criticizes Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, for example. “If this is confirmed, it would be nothing less than a capitulation to the pressure and intimidation tactics of the Trump administration.” The EU Commission repeatedly emphasizes that it does not want to change its regulations due to US pressure. However, some of the recently proposed changes in digital legislation, particularly to the AI Act and the General Data Protection Regulation, primarily benefit US companies that are already dominant in the market.
There’s the old management addage a"you’re better off having someone with you in the tent pissing out, than having them outside the tent pissing in". HOWEVER, the ego, power and control of these pissers is far beyond the usual parameters for that practical guidance.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t account for the US shitting in the tent.
If I could give you 10 upvotes for this most suitable update to the adage, I would!
The problem is if they’re already in the tent, and are still pissing in. Then keeping them in just gives them reach.
That is an absolutely wild addage
Its quite an old adage, I think. Pissing in or out of tents isn’t typical management language
