Good. Now if only they would quit the US too.

  Right? Lucky Europe.

  U.S. Needs to copycat that EU law ASAP, IMO.

    We have Micky Mouse laws in the US. Legally mega corps have to do whatever ensures rising profits. If they pollute the local river, causing birth defects and cancers, it's often more profitable than not polluting in the first place. Push come to shove you can just shut the company down when you get sued. The only thing you can do is be a smart consumer. Know who owns your data, and be mindful of what your actually buying. I really want a VR headset, not a Facebook Advertisement delivery device .

      By "Micky Mouse laws", I'm assuming you mean extended-duration copyright laws. The US actually did copy those from Europe, so fingers crossed...

        I meant laws which bend to corporate expectations. A more appropriate phrase would be regulatory capture.
