I guess the politicians don't want their Netflix to be more expensive.

Sadly its the EU and for every law there are untold numbers of lethargic and mostly incompetent beaurocrats trying to enforce it.

Those work very every slowly, but they are many and usually unstoppable when it comes to collecting money.

The thing about tariff wars is that you never want to shoot your full quiver in the first encounter, but keep some arrows for the next one. And the one after that.

I wouldn’t be so disappointed just yet; even the most lethargic beaurocrats in the EU know what’s going on. This ship is slow to steer, but if she gets moving, she’s hard to stop. Just wait!
