> Longer reply: I love the EU so much.

As a EU citizen: You really shouldn't.

They do occasionally pass decent legislature, but i fear GreedClarifies is likely correct that it's probably more about them wanting the power big tech is currently centralizing for themselves.

For examples check the recent news from Belgium as they've uncovered recent corruption issues in the European Parliament. There is even an organization funded by the EU which is unapologetically treating political refugees as prisoners (putting them behind bars with literal cameras in their "living" space.

There was a pretty good report on German state media about that topic, should have English subtitles though if you can't understand it https://youtu.be/tJMLNMlJkPw

I am glad they're currently pushing back against big tech though, as FAANG is already speedrunning our society into a total dumbsterfire, but love to that organization is just misplaced. (Or should we call it MAMAA now? Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet Amazon)

Even these monopolies are bound to be disrupted by competition (as we‘re likely about to see in the case of google)
