Obviously a caricature, but you must engage with the substance of the underlying issue.

If you have watched the EU's approach to U.S. tech cos (DMA, DPA) you can see a trend of increased regulation; to where it's not worth sometimes to release apps on the App Store initially to the EU due to GDPR and DMA restrictions.

Appreciate it if you take the technical bite out of the comment and engage in good faith here.

The regulators have repeatedly shown their willingness to look at the pure letter of the law and levy multibillion dollar fines.

Maybe the tech cos deserve it. But what's at hand here is where the investment of time and energy is going in the bloc.

My other comments address why this feels like an issue.

And the hilarious, (IMO) bad faith downvoting suggests the comment actually stings. We must ask why.
