Booking Holdings which Wikipedia has as the parent of booking.com seems to be US owned.

  Yes. Booking Holdings Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, listed on the Nasdaq with principal executive offices in Connecticut. See SEC filing: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001075531/87dc4e58-3de2-41a6-a9fd-eb45b863b1e2.pdf https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001075531/87dc4e5...

  Had no idea booking.com was american. I always assumed it was euro-based.

    Booking.com was founded in the Netherlands and is still headquartered there, but was bought by a US company (Priceline) well over a decade ago.

      That makes sense. It just didn't have the energy of an American company and I say that as one. I love booking.com

Probably also important to note, is that ByteDance and TikTok are also currently being investigated by the European Commission. Although for different reasons under the Digital Services Act - so it's not like they are targeting US companies specifically with the law. Also the commission is known to fine European entities all the time for various reasons, one of the recent ones I can think of is Pierre Cardin and it's partners for restricting cross border European sales.
