You should be thankful for the EU, they're at the forefront of good things for citizen. It's like California but 20 years ahead.

Most world governments aren't your friends, as much as you'd want them to be. EU *DOES* do stuff that's bad for their citizens. Just because they did x or y you agree with doesn't magically make them protector of mankind. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-control-2-0-eu-governments-set-to-approve-the-end-of-private-messaging-and-secure-encryption/ https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-control-2-0-eu-governm...

There are a few good laws/directives regarding consumer protection, however, the EU is going nuts on internet surveillance and policing, resulting in absurd legislations that are going to hurt EU startups and IT businesses and their own citizen's freedoms IMHO.
