funny, i see it as the opposite. why are we helping the europeans enforce european stuff? their rules ought to carry no force whatsoever here. we should be pushing back against foreigners legislating over American companies especially when some nation's laws attempt to govern our companies' behavior outside that nation.
- kyboren 3y agoBecause without these repeated fig leaves, trans-Atlantic data transfers will be totally prohibited. This carries the risk of losing the entire EU market, and further, the rise of actual competitors in the EU. Can't have that. Gotta keep the EU dependent on US tech. Better make sure America retains tech dominance over Europe, and can keep raiding their tech talent with the lure of high compensation and global impact unavailable in the EU. In all seriousness, the trans-Atlantic tech trade seems like a vaguely mercantilist colonialist system: Raw materials (skilled labor) flow in, finished goods (tech services) flow out.
- nologic01 3y agoIts touching that you are concerned about the fair treatment of a handful of overbearing oligopolies that like to "move fast and break things". You obviously have no clue what surveilance means and where it can lead. People like you explain the shambles that is the US political and regulatory system. Allow others to be concerned about having any dependency on it and not making naive assumptions about how it might evolve.
