Doesn't this fall squarely into "the Americans innovate, the EU regulates"?
Whether that saying is derogatory or not obviously depends on your point of view, but this new regulation isn't contradictory to the saying.
- omginternets 9y agoThe point was that it's usually said in a derogatory fashion, insinuating that European innovation suffers as a result of this.
- LamaOfRuin 9y agoThose also aren't strictly tied together. I absolutely believe that EU's internet regulations make it less desirable to start interesting new internet companies there. In many cases, I would also gladly trade that for the benefits of being an individual living under such a system.
- omginternets 9y agoIndeed, but again the point is that it's usually said, so as to imply that the EU suffers from these policies. Whether or not that's actually the case is a different question. To your point, it's a much less cut-and-dry question as well.
