@prologic Not much. First time I heard about it, to be honest. 🙈 Scrolling through the articles on netzpolitik.org, it *could* be a good thing? But it’s a large “package”, there could be nasty stuff hidden. It’s still a work-in-progress, there’s no final version yet. 🤷

@prologic Yes, like @movq this is the first time I heard about this. Reading the excerpt, I couldn't care less. This topic doesn't interest me at all. ;-)
@prologic @movq @lyse It says "Violations could in future be punished with fines of up to 6% of a company's annual revenue" and seems to mostly target algorithms and advertising, so as a platform with no algorithms, no advertising and no revenue, we're all good. Even if we aren't, up to 6% of our annual revenue of 0 is still a 0 dollar fine. 😂👌
