From my perspective outside the States, there is already government support, which is the full-court press US ambassadorial staff have been running in Australia and New Zealand to categorise privacy and data sovereignty laws as unfair and illegitimate anti-competition laws whose sole purpose is to prevent companies like Amazon gutting the local IT markets.
I imagine they are running the same line in Europe.
I wonder what Amazon's relationship with the US government is like?
- s_q_b 13y agoSure, there are some interests that run in the opposite direction. But domestically, the amount of power Silicon Valley and tech centers across the country hold in Washington is not commensurate with their economic and cultural clout. Certainly it is time for that to change.
