That's a common trope but i think it's false. Different languages did not matter for many other industries, autos, foods, tourism, etc. IT is not about making content, it's about hosting it and there are plenty of good hosts in EU. It's not as if europeans learn about europe when they are on US social media anyway. Most of what they hear is about US and Trump, not their local stuff. That hasn't prevented Twitter and FB or ebay or whatever to become huge in europe. Besides far too many europeans do their work in English, hell even Brussels operates in english apart from some public appearances. I ve certainly never used another language in any EU project i joined.
