| I'm kind of surprised by this. Google is already under a lot of heat, especially in Europe. All sorts of lawsuits everywhere because of they monopoly abuse. And they decide to pull this move? |

| OTOH, it gives more options to implement Cyber Resilience Act requirements, especially once the boundaries get mapped out in real life |

| ▲ | wkat4242 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | No of course but it will be. There's another vote on the 17th of October and most countries are in favour now :( And if it fails again I'm sure they will keep trying like they have been until they can finally push it through. Notably in this iterations the politicans are making an exemption for themselves and their servants (including police etc). But I think Google thinks the time is right now because it will be a prerequisite for this. |

Yes billionaires are not people to be trusted but also they are a structural problem, a CEO that does not squeeze last the last penny out of users for shareholder value is just not doing their job. Billionaires are a-holes because the corporate incentive system rewards people like them. We need new structures. | | |

And still isn't in plenty of locales and companies. The S&P 500 of 2025 doesn't define immutable universal laws. | | |
