I wonder how all those European companies are doing it. They ship everything all the time, avoid the $billions fines, yet make mistakes like everybody else.

> how much the EU slowed down innovation

You say this all the time, yet we're doing fine. How come?

Maybe if a lot of you in big tech hadn't misused our personal data and sold it to the highest bidders, or hadn't stiffled small tech innovations through monopoly, the EU wouldn't need to regulate you so hard.

This is quite an exaggeration. Afaik there has been only a single GDPR fine over 1 billion € (Meta) and for some reason Apple seems to manage just fine (with GDPR).

If this slop is what you consider a revolution, I dread to see what else the SV visionaries come up with next. Perhaps some iris scans in exchange for fake digital currency? Oh wait, Mr Worldcoin Altman already got us covered there!
