Looking at this Mastodon post (in French) where Europeans explore what would happen if Trump blocked all American services in Europe, I thought it would be a great question to ask the people of Lemmy. So: what do you think would happen if POTUS Donald Trump decided to block all U.S. services to Europeans?

Big tech wants Europe's money. The decision would be reversed within minutes.

That, and many of these businesses have local subsidiaries, so be wouldn't really have the power to "cut them off" in any real sense without some kind of legislation making out illegal for them to operate outside the US. Our oligarchs would never allow their representatives in government to approve that legislation.

Hoping for it.
We'll have a month of absolute chaos where businesses scramble to migrate everything to european alternatives (that already exist, mostly). Then we'll have a web without murrican shit.
Also, our fascist terminally online assholes will probably commit suicide when they see that their echo-chambers are gone.

I’m starting to fear what happens if he doesn’t.
