Does anybody know, by any rare chance, what measures the "European Union Anti-Coercion Tool" would try to apply to USA in case USA continues blackmailing the EU?

@joxean afaik canceling tradeagreements and completely blocking imports, i think this is a set of escalating measures aimed at russia and china.

@stf I've already read that. And also the EU's commission documents. I'm still at lost about what measures could that translate into.

@joxean i don't know, getting rid of nazi tech and hyperscalers? Dumping 8 trillion nazi moneys worth in nazi bonds?

The US is fucked if they don't get rid of their dictator.

@rotatoe Getting rid of US technology, unfortunately, cannot be done over night. Weaponising the US bonds looks a bit more realistic, though.

@joxean i looked up the regulation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:L_202302675

article 8 point 3 and 4 are the relevant ones. sounds generic, could also mean what others propose like giving a fuck about the dmca, or intellectual monopolies.

@buherator @rotatoe @joxean sounds like everybody finally updates their risk assesments...
