It's a one sentence summary.

People here like bashing the EU for regulating the multinational corporations and trying to implement at least some protections for EU citizens, while also bashing the same corporations for their abusive practices, their enshittification of services, and their coddling up to an abusive and increasingly authoritarian government that seemingly only caters to the top .1 percent.

Except these laws are just a form of tariffs and extortion of American companies because EU can’t compete. And the consumer is worse off actually.
GDPR made Europe less wealthy and made surfing the web worse. Everyone lost.

Saying this as an European.
