    This is the best thing for everyone.

    If Trump intervenes: Trump is forced to either acknowledge 4chan and potentially even be positive of it

    If Trump intervenes: UK is forced to weaken the OSA

    If Trump backs down: He looks weak, UK gets EU a win against American corpos

      UK gets EU nothing, UK has left EU.

      And the way their politics have gone to shit with mass surveillance and powerful lobbying from anti-LGBT groups, I prefer them not being represented in EU anymore.

        It’s a win by non-Chinese western governments against American tech oligarchy’s desire to be above the law. Which makes it a win for the EU who wants to regulate them and a loss for American oligarchs.

        Yes UK politics are fucked. Rest of Europe catching up as well. But I don’t envision a scenario where this clash between various bastards is anything but a win for anyone who isn’t a bastard.
