EU: The European Union, known for unfairly regulating US tech companies. While US corporations have successfully undermined their judicial system with an organized, legal form of corruption called lobbying, they have not achieved anything similar with the European Parliament yet. This makes Europe the only place that dares to create laws that guarantee that the market and not the strongest corporations decide what products we can buy or make. With its so called DMA the EU has angered (cross-reference: Apple Enthusiast)s in particular. Apple Enthusiasts who oppose the EU tend to falsely quote the GDPR as an example of how wrong the EU is while ignoring that it aligns with Apple’s key market differentiator: Privacy protection. As the debate around CSAM illustrates, the EU is not perfect either.
