The US understands the threat of foreign tech companies/apps gathering data on US citizens and manipulating their behaviour and is looking to ban TikTok.
Dear @EU_Commission, here’s an incomplete list of foreign tech companies/apps gathering data on EU citizens and manipulating their behaviour:
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.)
- Alphabet, Inc. (Google, YouTube, etc.)
- Twitter, Inc.
- Microsoft (Windows, etc.)
- Snap, Inc.
Thoughts?
@aral @EU_Commission would be faster listing the EU based businesses. The list is short. All but those are exporting data (most of them even lost control of what data they gather and/or manage)

Are you sure about "all but those"? I'd say all, and most of those. Most pages I visit, my adblock is reporting facebook pixels.
@en3py @aral @EU_Commission
I agree that it'd be a better approach, and a short list :)
