I hope enough people recognize these advantages of the #EU. - Otherwise many members states have growing far-right movements and parties... what is it that they don't understand?!
I think that this problem doesn't start on an EU level but by national problems. And at the same time it's an international, nearly global problem, because in hard transition times, these people work with fears. Unfortunately, the EU does not have any truly effective security mechanisms to exclude fascist states, for example. (When these mechanisms were made, the problem didn't exist yet).
... and as of today and with the release of the #epstein files it turns out that most of the right-wing movements in #Europe were/are heavily supported by epstein and his billionaire buddies (e. g. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…).
@yukijoou If You have a data plan in any EU country, the plan still applies when visiting a different EU country. Before 2017 local providers could (and did) apply extra roaming charges: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European… @marcohackney
@yukijoou Does this apply to volume or transfer speed? i.e. in Germany the speed is generally lower because of bad infrastructure. The volume should not be affected. Also not all countries are part of it like Switzerland. @marcohackney
@yukijoou Oh of course, this works only inside the EU. You need a data plan from a provider from a EU country. Sorry for the misunderstanding. @marcohackney
@pink i am inside the eu tho- sorry that was maybe unclear at home = Ireland (republic of) in my case in the eu = anywhere in the union but ireland, in my case, france
@yukijoou Ok, that is weird. I would say this should work. Maybe @aral knows something about roaming from #Ireland. Maybe a complaint to the corresponding irish or EU office can help.
@pink @yukijoou Yeah, it’s free roaming but with a data cap. To be fair, I’ve never hit the cap.
(Compare to non-EU where, if you forget to turn off your data, you can easily find yourself with a €50 bill or more by the time you realise your mistake between the airport and the hotel. Yes, that’s experience talking from the before times.)
