@cdarwin@c.imIreland has been every bit as important in exporting US Big Tech around the world as the US has been.
But Ireland has another key export, one that is confined to the European Union.
Because every tax haven must be a crime haven,
and because Big Tech's favorite crime is illegal surveillance,
Ireland has exported American tech spying to the whole European Union.

Public money, political favors and government power are funneled to his friends and family businesses,

I feel that, as with climate change, we are at this crossroads but here with our privacy rights. The big companies want us to let go of our privacy and lock ourselves within their systems so we can be spied on in the best way, to feed us as much ads as possible and make us dependent on them (e.g. with "genAI"). …
