What are you trying to imply (while hiding behind a rather unsuitable form of irony)? Not that the EU is taking away essential freedom, I hope?

People stuck in 1940 and not able to imagine new words for new things should not be allowed to discuss these topics online.

		"should not be allowed to discuss these topics online." At least you are consistent

		the correct modern word is censorship `DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN` there has to be a bug in Europe on some news websites... at least we can use VPNs, for now protecting the children is always a good pretext but the real goal with this addiction law is to have one extra leverage on the platforms

Is any form of government regulation of corporate actions fascism in your view?

Where is the line drawn?

This is a clear line and we fought Europe already over this in the last century. There is absolutely no world where we need a group of people telling us how long we are allowed to be on TikTok. It is inexcusable to think this way in a free democracy.

Part of a free democracy is that we get to think in whichever way we want, actually.

Democracy depends on shared rules and institutions that limit what you can do in pursuit of those beliefs. There is certainly a line to be drawn of where our freedoms begin and end. TikTok is nowhere near this

		> Democracy depends on shared rules and institutions that limit what you can do in pursuit of those beliefs. I agree fully. As such, our elected representatives can set those rules, i. e. ban the sale of heroin or algorithmic poisons. > TikTok is nowhere near this In a democracy, you don't get to decide that by yourself.

We regulate gambling companies, tobacco companies, and alcohol companies just fine.

I don’t think it’s fascism to add another societal plight to that list

Please share the definition of fascism you used to come to this conclusion.
