I like how the EU is listed under technology.

  Well, they are technocrats after all.

  And then brings in legislation like the Cookie notices and Link Tax, but does absolutely nothing to protect and drive the European Tech industry (where is the European FAANG?), allowing monopolistic American corporations to ship all the high-paying jobs to the US. Europe had ARM, a whole slew of microcomputer companies (and still the Raspberry Pi foundation today), Nokia, Linux, MySQL, etc. - all largely sold off or destroyed. Such a loss of potential.

    Isn't this openess forced upon the EU by their strongest ally?
    • nivenkos 5y ago
      The EU has long been run by neo-liberals, so they actually choose the policies deliberately.

  Perhaps ‘technology’ is defined as ‘anything but can fall off’?
