  EU politicians don't know how computers work, how do you expect them to grasp the "seriousness of the situation"? They think it's this magical thing coming from 'The Elders of the Internet™'. Granted, US politicians also don't know how computers work, but they they have a tech empire that's a large part of their economy and constantly lobbies them, so they're forced to learn a thing or two about the economies of the tech industry. See Jensen Huang's famous million dollar diner with Trump or the fact than many US politicians have shares in big-tech so it's in their interest to protect it and help it grow, which is not the case in the EU's with it's lackluster tech industry. Since EU has not many tech giants, labor and politicians don't care much about by this industry as it doesn't bring much lobby money, jobs and votes and see it just as a cost center. It is that simple.
