  1. Jesus, we still have 3.5 more years of seeing these headlines every single day

  2. Stop posting the Indo. Gript for Da’s at this stage

  3. Donald can go fuck right off and then fuck off some more

  4. Oh please he’ll have forgotten about tech watchdogs in an hour or so when some political opponent or celebrity posts something insulting about him

  5. >Pedo-rapist blackmails another country.

    FTFY.

    Get fucked pedo, this isn’t the USA.

  6. All he does is waive the threat of tariffs and everybody complies. It’s depressing.

  7. This new trend of going after users who post Irish news to the Irish sub of a new aggregator sub is a bit suspicious no?

    Is it because it portrays Trump as a cunt meddling in our affairs? Do they need to get passive viewers to be suspect of these articles?

  8. this is something that should be a concern. 

    JD Vance spoke about Europe attacking free speech, and regulating tech companies in their eyes is part of that. 

    Marco Rubio as Secretary of State has said similar things. 

    Facebook were threatening Ireland with snitching to trump about Ireland being mean to them because we were enforcing standards – https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/meta-warns-paschal-donohoe-it-will-complain-to-donald-trump-about-eu-fine-for-breaking-digital-market-rules/a1393687104.html

    from all of that it’s clearly in their sights. 

    so what could happen? In the recent tariff negotiations the EU agreed to drop EU vehicle standards allowing lower quality US cars in. The US has decided we should play by their shitty rules, and tech will be next. 

    enforcement in the area of tech is already not good enough, but there will be extreme pressure to make it worse and to bully us in the issue. 

  9. Don’t worry. He usually forgets what’s he’s talking about before he gets to the end of the sentence. He thinks “Irish digital watchdog” is a Spaniel anyway.

  10. Something ironic that a PDF is doing everything to distract from a list which is more than likely in a PDF format

  11. “Officials from Irish the Data Protection Commission and Coimisiún na Meán could be targeted if new measures enforced”

    Can’t even do a grammar check

  12. I guarantee you Donald has no idea what the Irish watchdog is doing. He’s economically illiterate and seems to have the memory of a goldfish. His tech buddies lobby his cabinet and they tell him what to say and sign.

  13. Child fucker in chief threatens other country……

    The correct headline

  14. If they don’t like the rules, then they should leave the EU.

  15. The chap is a nut case. Going after regulators , judges etc.
    completes political policing. Absolute dictatorship.
    America needs a military coup.

    “Enemies, foreign and domestic” is a phrase out of the US oath of office

    He is the single biggest threat to freedom

  16. Well now we should definitely pay more attention 

  17. What a shitstain this muppet is. (Sorry muppets for the insult)

  18. It’s time the world stood up to Trump interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

  19. This country already had it’s fill of listening to pedos when the church called the shots.

  20. The likes of Meta and X have thrown moderation away and have been continuously found to be meddling with national politics by altering their algorithms, influencing groups of people and pushing extreme content while suppressing others.

    Musk for example is actively involving himself, his money and his platform in promoting people into influential positions in multiple countries, poisoning all wells of discussion. Right now he’s pushing Tommy Robinson and stoking the flames with the current St. George’s flag craic that’s happening there at the moment, hoping for another bout of riots to break out in the UK.

    They have the full backing of the US government to be as rogue as they want, that any country within the EU that dares flex their laws will be made bend the knee to America.

    Also, this won’t end with Trump. He’s just the battering ram to get their ducks in a row, the next person will be younger and appear more competent to continue this flow of bullying. The fact that people will tolerate Trump now shows how low the bar is for the next person.

  21. Who would have thought caving into a bullies every want would lead to more bullying?

  22. This is the price we pay for not creating our own tech services.

    For years, the eu have ridden the coattails of American tech companies without helping our own flourish.
