The US is deeply divided. But in the EU, you can see what government power can do. In the end, even very large companies have to follow the law.

As an EU citizen, I've thought about this for a bit and I think that maybe it is more because the large companies being targets for regulation atm (FAANG) are not EU companies.

See for example how protective the US has been of Monsanto in the past and now that Bayer has swallowed it, lots of lawsuits are suddenly underway and scandals pop up.

The EU is probably even more divided from what I can see over there in Europe. Aren't Italy, Austria, and Spain actively looking into leaving?
