The main reason I did create this thread is due to my disdain for the EU's power in breaking American economic hegemony and the fact that the main reason they regulate tech so hard is because other countries created it and they are mad. I do believe Americans need to respond harsher to how the EU seeks to harm American companies such as Google by claiming they are a search engine monopoly when it is incredibly easy to use any engine one wishes. These are nothing more than thinly veiled tariffs that we should respond back with until they back down. We are simply ceding economic ground .
I even admit I would absolutely support the EU if I lived in the EU, I just hate it as an outsider.
To be fair, we have by now, a well established tradition of the EU cracking down on the obvious abuses of American tech capitalism; and the US cracking down on the abuses of the European banking sector, and both always being a bit lapse on the abuses of their own corporations.
Ultimately it's probably good to have two big powerful democratic economic blocks that can keep each others' corporations' bad behaviour in check. You know, far better than the alternate future of the US and China just knocking lumps out of each other just because they want to hurt each other.
