I wonder what it'll take to get companies to just pull out of Europe entirely rather than comply with increasingly onerous demands.

- cortexio 5y agoi hope google/facebook and others leave europe. It would give room to newer/better companies. But ofc, they will never leave. Too much profit in europe.
- robotmay 5y agoIt'd be interesting to see. At the moment Europe is largely dominated by the US tech industry (bar a few notable exceptions, like Spotify). One of them leaving would open a nice big gap for new/existing EU alternatives to compete in.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoYou really think they'd pull out and allow someone willing to play by a couple of rules to grow to be big enough to threaten the rest of their space? Giving up China is one thing. Yeah, it has a billion people but it's also a giant pain in the ass given the sheer amount of meddling that country's government involves itself with. But Europe? None of these companies can maintain the sort of quasi-monopolies they have without Europe.
- an9n 5y agoMe too - let's figure it out and make it happen!
- thunkshift1 5y agoMy 2c - big companies pulling out of Europe would be a welcome opportunity and not a crisis for eu
