From my experience, it's almost always "Chrome doesn't have feature x". It's the most feature poor browser currently in wide use. The only advantage that comes to mind is web dev tools, which: a) 99% of people don't care about, because they aren't web devs. b) Chromium also has, and it's like the considerably less infuriating twin.

Some people really will desparately do whatever it takes to cling onto Microsoft's slop, just so they don't have to spend an hour or two learning something new.

And if you do actually need Windows for a very specific piece of software or one of those 5 online games - okay, fair enough. But we all know the vast majority are just lazy and ignorant.

It doesn't mean they "have to abide by GDPR" or that they "are GDPR compliant". All it means is they appear to be GDPR compliant and pretend to respect user privacy. The sole fact that the AI chatbots are run in US-based data centres is against GDPR. The EU has had many different personal data transfer agreements with the US, all of which were canceled shortly after signing due to US corporations breaking them repeatedly (Facebook usually being the main culprit).

Facebook used to have a team dedicated to analyzing their apps' risks to children's and teenagers' health. The team concluded that there are indeed many serious health risks for both children and teenagers, especially teenage girls. Shortly after, it got disbanded, and all its recommendations completely ignored.

Personally I'd prefer if 'memes', if you can call it that, like this one were kept to politics-centered communities.

In any case, I think the message is true for most if not all countries on the planet. No politician from any major party is a good person, and they most definitely don't care about you enough to do anything for you. You will probably have a hard time finding any politician that isn't a liar, or worse, but the major parties are the worst of the worst.
