> If you have watched the EU's approach to U.S. tech cos (DMA, DPA) you can see a trend of increased regulation Sure, no dispute here—I agree that in general, the EU has recently being making it more difficult for large American tech companies to do business in Europe. But I don't think that that applies at all in this specific case. The EU has already been sued twice over US–EU data-sharing agreements, and both times, they fought it all the way to their supreme court, and after they lost, they quickly made new agreements that were essentially equivalent to the old ones. So the EU repeatedly gone to a lot of effort to allow US–EU data-sharing, which suggests that their priorities are the exact opposite of forbidding this. > And the hilarious, (IMO) bad faith downvoting suggests the comment actually stings. We must ask why. I can't speak for the others, but I personally downvoted your top-level comment because the sentence that I quoted was factually incorrect. I don't agree with your other points, but they seem like valid opinions, so I wouldn't have downvoted for those alone. (And FWIW, I'm Canadian, so I have no vested interests in either side here) |
