There's a spectrum from a ban on all innovation on one end, to your car collecting data about your sex life and selling it to insurers without your consent or an option to opt out on the other end (the sex life bit was in Kia's privacy policy, along with things like trade union membership). Personally, I think the EU is a lot closer to a sweet spot than the vision of the FAANG. Apple is an odd case as they're actually ok on user privacy as far as I can tell, they just want to milk their closed ecosystem as much as they can. The EU has some ideas I personally disagree with like the whole EIDAS article 45 thing, but if I had to pick between the EU and Meta's vision for the future, I'm much closer to the EU's one.
