> how fast new companies(mainly U.S.) moved so quickly.

I've worked in startup/mid size companies outside U.S and from what i've seen its totally inaccurate to say that startups outside U.S move slowly because they take privacy/security more seriously.

The reason I mentioned US specifically was because VC funding to support hyper growth was historically & (still is) way more common there than elsewhere in the world(Western Europe specifically). A condition which seems to almost mandate the grow fast at all costs mentality.

It doesn't preclude anywhere else in the world from being lax about security. I also have worked for multiple small/mid companies in Western Europe and, anecdotally for me, data & thoughts to security are held in much higher regard.

Yes, they ignore it just like the US companies.
