Obviously sucks to be one of those 330 employees, but I wonder if we really need all these junk apps that just harvest user data. Hopefully they can get work doing something fulfilling.
Every time a data harvester moves operations to Europe for cheaper labor, it seems like a game of Russian roulette. When will the day come that the EU drives Bending Spoons out of existence?
The US should adopt intent nationalistic laws against international businesses collecting American’s data. Not because of National Security (but that’s what the politicians can say) but simply because Americans are the most valuable markets and it’ll drive many of these companies out of business, and generally disrupt the market.

Law-wise, your data is more safe in the EU than in most of the US even for an American citizen. An American company/management under bad privacy laws can just sell your data at the highest bidder.
- vineyardmike 3y agoYea the whole industry sucks, but it’s just an easier political move to ban “outsiders” from doing shady things.
- tonyedgecombe 3y agoCompanies like this aren’t on the EU’s radar. It’s the big tech monopolies that get the negative attention and big incumbent businesses that get positive attention. Individual countries in the EU can make things more bureaucratic than they need to be for smaller businesses but that has little to do with the EU.
