   I am once again happy that the EU is fighting practices like these via legislation.

   Some outcomes can be annoying, but the net result is still positive, for the consumers and their data privacy at least.

         > The outcome is that very little serious technology or influential companies come out of Europe. And salaries for things like engineer are about a third of that in the US.

         So your argument is abusive practices are required for the creation of influential companies, serious technology, and high paying salaries?

            No but overly burdensome regulatory bodies that are concerned about such things like how the top of my bottle cap functions and how low i set my ac temp leads to an incredibly hostile business environment and stagnant culture.

            But like I said, nice place to visit for the time being.

               Better than a government that fears the word gay

               You are quite a cherrypicker, aren’t you?

               How about the regulation to have USB-C as a standard or replaceable batteries.

               Or one of my favorites, the ban of ingredients that cause cancer.

               BTW ever heard of Frauenhofer IIS or ASML?
