The battery law is “so broad and so restrictive that it prevents the sale of this wonderful, jointly developed, U.S.-European product from being sold in the European Union…”
No. Meta chose to design e-waste.
The tech, if selfhosted and open, would be great. But as it stands, it would be better off banned.

This is good, but it’s already out of control. If you walk past a parked Tesla, just for example, you’ll be filmed. If you walk past any public building, you’ll be filmed. Public place?

Because it isn’t relevant, at all, and that is what downvotes are for.
A question about banning tech that invades privacy is irrelevant in a thread about banning tech that invades privacy? Okay, fair enough - I’ll move it to Ask Lemmy, where it might not hit at many hot buttons.
Isn’t the idea at least interesting?
Sure, if you’re asking what to write in your next fantasy novel. This topic is about reality.
