Correct. Europe’s main concern is regaining the power and influence they once held a couple centuries ago. These rulings are not really about tech business practices or consumer rights. You see the same thing playing out in the US with the east coast establishment (politics and media) fighting back against the power shift west.
- CPLX 7y agoGood. Intense concentrations of power are a problem, by definition. We did literally base the US system of government on this concept.
- joejerryronnie 7y agoInteresting that everybody is looking to the Federal Government to solve their problems now.
- falcor84 7y agoI don't see any conflict between wanting the federal government to be small, while still wanting that federal government to be in charge of some things - this is literally the reason for having a federation in the first place
- joejerryronnie 7y agoThe Federal Gov can’t be small and be in charge of all the things at the same time (not your statement but the general expectation I was referring to). It’s a balancing act but we always seem to strive for one extreme or the other.
- CPLX 7y agoI wasn’t making any reference to the size of the federal government, I was referencing the first year first day basic concept of separation of powers.
