The U.S. was already pushing the E.U. to stop bothering U.S. tech companies.

Maybe, not in a high profile way, but if you've been following things for a year or so, you might have seen them try.

This is response to speculation about what the U.S. will do.

The nspcc report says that snapchat is top app for child grooming, big tech HAS to do something about this and protect users far more. The EU needs to stand it's ground and make robust laws to force big tech to act, but also perhaps have other laws so that if children or anyone comes to harm, then big tech bosses will be held to account.

We may not be able to arrests, charge, prosecute and jail us citizens at the top, but if the boss of the UK office is a UK/EU citizen we can throw the full weight of the law at them.

@zleap The NSPCC's spokesman was literally an Internet troll who went around picking fights with anyone who offered up the mildest of critiques of their extreme and weirdly opinionated ideas. His name was Andy.

@olives

I was just quoting the article, i actually agree with you on the NSPCC it seems they have caused more damage than they wanted to prevent with their views
