@feliks I am not an economist and I would not venture to characterize the broad economic approach one way or another.

But it's pretty clear that privacy regulations are stronger in the EU. It's pretty clear that other tech-related regulations are stronger in the EU.

To me that approach amounts to putting digital human rights above corporate interests, at least in *some* (important) cases.

And when I hear someone say that that puts EU companies at a disadvantage, I recoil.
