Didn't mean to make it sound like the EU was anti-business, just meant that given the need for a choice, the EU/UK regulations tend to favor the needs of consumers/citizens over those of a corporation.
In the US, the citizens are basically protected just enough to keep them complacent/prevent lawsuits, but the goal is to let the corp. maximize profit.
