Here in Europe, we are in a paradoxical downward spiral. And unfortunately, I see no end to it.
Understandably, we don't want our citizens to be spied upon by the US and have all that data stored in the US.
Unfortunately, our "solution" is to create regulations which cause so much disadvantage to European tech companies, that we will see our citizens use even more US built tools in the future.
We already live in a mostly US-built internet. Throwing more and more regulations at it only cements this situation.
It seems there is nothing to get out of this rut. Looks like we will keep feeding the patient a treatment that worsens their condition.
