You have to admire the EU's gumption: forcing the payment of technical debt with GDPR, and forcing us to face the hard reality of copyright law with Article 13

You have to admire the EU's gumption: forcing the payment of technical debt with GDPR, and forcing us to face the hard reality of copyright law with Article 13 (hopefully leading us to abolish it after realizing how ridiculous it is when seriously upheld). There's something so naive or earnestly human about them. If the U.S. kept being the only relevant legal force on the Western Internet, we'd mull around in gray areas forever.

On the side of where all the internet platforms are from, it is the US that's relevant. Maybe it's not a coincidence that the EU doesn't produce many internet platforms that are good?

  And you attribute this to regulations rather than the ground truth that the EU is a hodge-podge of very different cultures, countries, languages and laws that only recently implemented a shared currency, and is totally unlike the huge, wealthy and comparably homogenous market that is the USA?
