The EU is my last hope. Out of all governments and international entities, the EU is the only one I have a stretch of confidence in. The fact that Google and Amazon are located in the US means that the EU has nothing to lose if they want to regulate them. An additional fact that the EU consists of multiple countries that can bully each other to comply with their own laws makes it effective. I believe that if there is someone who can fix this shitty situation, it is the EU.

given complete freedom, the EU would probably ban youtube from the EU entirely as it doesn't meet the minimum requirement of 30% EU created content

Nonsense, Youtube and Netflix offer two completely different services.

The EU has some issues, but their decisions (both of the commission and the parliament) regarding tech monopolies have been quite sane.

The EU countries are also much better than the US at punishing companies for abusing personal information.
