Comment on Painful day for tech titans as EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into them

Looking like that - there’s nothing US institutions could do in the context of human nature, and for EU we can say “about goddamn time”.
Just a weird thought.

Lol sure. First of all “lobby” is a very transparent euphemism for “bribe”. In second place the lack of proper rules in the US is creating behemoths that are very difficult to deal wIth. These companies are becoming richer than nations will be impossible to contain.

Home country politicians are easier to bribe. This creates sort of relativity of the same kind that prevents too large wars from happening.
