Yes, like America. This may shock you, but America isn't always right.

That was exactly your parent's point?


So whataboutism is a valid justification to continue the practice?


They're arguing that US companies are afraid of the EU behaving like the US, & then asserting that the EU will not behave like the US

Disappointing to see so many EU apologists defaulting to whataboutism.
