    As someone who’s not an EU resident I love what the EU does because it tends to make the market better globally. See: iPhone switching to USB-C

      You mean the charging port that they’ve been moving thier products to for years now? Dont kid yourself. Did the EU crying about it speed up what was clearly already happening? Probably.

      What else do you like about the EUs viewpoint that that they’re tech dictators? The hatred for privacy? The attempts to take encryption? Mandatory backdoors? How about France with their new ability to activate mics and cameras on people? Youre being blinded by random decent things and ignoring everything else they stand for.

        Ya, I like that they’re tech dictators. I think everyone should be more dictatorial with big industry. Do I agree with all the policies and regulations they come up with? Absolutely not. But at this point I’d prefer bad regulation than what we currently have from the completely toothless US regulators.
