I would say there's an anti-human sentiment from big tech. EU often passes regulations to protect the population, and these thwart huge short-term gains that big tech loves to grab at the expense of all of society.
> Are these criticisms fair
Of course they're not. Big tech is just about maximizing one single variable, technological growth, and they should be crushed.

Well no, they fucked that up as well with ISP blocking whatever ports they want. The law is useless. The fact is the EU don’t understand tech properly and they screwup all the regulation around it.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoIs the cookie law useless though? At least, it's helped me. There have already been several sites that I have just navigated AWAY from because they didn't allow "no cookies" and I decided that site wasn't worth it. Pretty useful in my opinion.
