> people will come out of the woodwork saying "the EU just tries to harm US companies" [...] can be seen in any discussion of EU regulations on booking.com [...] Booking.com is a Dutch company though. Most people within the EU I know of (myself included) are happy to see companies like Booking.com more regulated though, not less.

>Booking.com is a Dutch company though. Booking.com was an example I used because it was still fresh in my mind from another post today[0]. The comments not only talked about how the EU only hurts US companies, but also it included a discussion about whether booking.com could be called American or Dutch. >Most people within the EU I know of (myself included) are happy to see companies like Booking.com more regulated though, not less. I completely agree, I merely reported what I see as the prevalent opinion by many Americans on this site who see the situation differently.
