The technocrats in Belgium are really leading from the front across industries when it comes to rational, forward-thinking, and - most importantly - both pro-competitive and consumer friendly regulations. Agree with other comments that GDPR isn't perfect, but at least its a start! I work in Finance, and their regulation around things like Open Banking (e.g. PSD2) is great. Of course they have their bad aspects, but overall they level the commercial playing field and protect consumer freedoms. I worry the US is letting legacy industry dominate the development of our financial (and other industries') infrastructure for short term incumbent gain but long term societal and commercial detriment.
