germany, with the eu held captive, is really going to die on the regulation hill.
there are so many structural issues, everything trending downwards but instead of fixing those, the bureaucrats are ready to keep innovation out even more strongly and the people are so blinded by the "doing good" rhetoric that they even support it to a large part.
the bigger news should have been the looming attack on chat privacy ("think of the children!") which is somehow ignored by the "look, we are fighting the evil american bigco over here" hand waving.
it boggles the mind how this strategy is supposed to pay off in any sense over the next years / decades.
