I find it funny this comment is so low in the thread, while all the "Good EU for sticking it to big tech" is much higher up.
As a European, I find the tech situation in Europe (and UK) horrible - much lower salaries for tech workers, inconsistent and high taxation, no measurable innovation in tech since forever. At the same time EU wastes taxpayer money on "research" that is only slightly more advanced than a second year student's project, all in the name of promoting innovation.
