US does a really shitty job at regulating tech companies - esp privacy and abuse of data.

Perhaps because the big tech has captured the regulators with a lobby revolving door.

Look at how big a tantrum Apple is throwing regarding 3rd party app stores.

I’m glad EU is doing what it’s doing.

And the various data locality laws. Data is precious.

I wish US would impose stronger fines when data is misused or hacked into due to negligence.



And yet there isn't a lot of actual difference between Americans and EU citizens.

Sure lots of EU laws, practically speaking no difference at all.
