> Is there any chance that the lack of US regulations will, at some point, cause the general populations to flee the US rather than deal with tech companies monitoring and controlling every aspect of your life? Speaking as an Australian who lives in a place that is often considered over regulated ... zero chance. Turns out living in a place that has laws like "thou shall not lie on the box", and "shrink wrap licences for software shall not override the law" (this is what new EU law says) is pretty nice. Hell, in Australia we have laws that say ISP's must tell you what minimum bandwidth you are paying for, and horrors, the price displayed must be the price you pay in the end. Oh, the imposition this must place be on a business ... Actually it turns out it's very little. The ISP's already knew how much bandwidth people were using because they pay for it, and as for the difficulty of displaying th price you plan on charging the customer - lets no go there. Most of the world thinks competitive markets are a good thing. The free markets the USA seems to prefer look to be a form of self flagellation to us.
