When something is not available in the EU you probably don't want it anyway. Like chlorinated chicken, hormone-treated beef, large pickup trucks, and easily available firearms.

"The other reasonable alternative would be for Apple (and Google) to be broken up into separate hardware, software, cloud, and AI businesses."

I'm pretty sure that's the answer

Maybe something similar to the Health permissions, where you can easily choose which categories of data to share

I'd rather not have a feature that is offered by a monopoly. The other reasonable alternative would be for Apple (and Google) to be broken up into separate hardware, software, cloud, and AI businesses.

Would love to hear the other side's arguments, but reading that press release so far I'm with Apple.
I mean, maybe the point is to let the user decide (if they want another app to have all that access), but that honestly sounds scary. 3rd parties would get access to so much that they can't get right now (think messages, for instance), and I trust OpenAI et al much less than Apple that they would protect that data

I am jealous of countries that prohibit cars like the "Cybertruck".
