Because speech and communication obviously. That’s a ridiculous comparison.

I am very much not a pro-social media person (this is a social media website, btw) but I am even less a nanny state person. EU loses plenty of support from the citizens of its constituent states when it implements these sorts of limitations, so I hope the benefits meaningfully improve quality of life.

Also, research is not a prescriptive cure, and it isn’t a neutral domain. It is valuable, but not as an unevaluated rubber stamp.

It's not a ridiculous comparison in a world where Meta faces a 1.4T lawsuit over their core platform design being addictive to young people. And that lawsuit isn't brought by the EU, but by US states. So clearly there is more to it than "EU nanny state bad, US wild west good". https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/meta-meta-...
