Join the EU.
Or pass their Digital Services Act and GDPR Laws in the USA.
Sadly, for the USA, each option is about as likely as the other.
Get New York and California to pass it. Might be enough. California has sort of done it lol
California is the EU of America.
I’d vote to create the EAU. I think there’s a real thirst for having some sanity over here.
As a EU citizen - no thanks, unless you get like ten seats in the EU parliament at most.
As a Californian, I am fully used to being horrifically underrepresented proportionally in national politics, danke. Tax our billionaires. Give us healthcare. Make us use public transportation and drive on better roads. Do your worst. I triple dog dare you.
and as a citizen of a country other than the US, we’re very used to america being horrifically overrepresented in any sort of politics ever no matter what :p so swings and roundabouts i guess
Okay, good note.

Honestly can't blame you.
Electronic Arts Union?
It’s a pun to discreetly signal that I welcome our new French overlords.
Cries from the UK.
I hear cries in British.
"...and the tea is cold!"
Yep.
Not likely. This act would never pass the 1st amendment check.
Laws like these would thankfully get killed dead by the first amendment in the USA.
Stop trying to kill the Internet with overbearing government regulations.
