Why I feel Europe is only throwing legislations at every new technology without any real understanding. Also, so many rules, yet the government is exempt from all of them.

Europe loves their regulations - regular before deliver. And that is one of the reasons they failed to produce any tech giant. Bureaucracy and Europe - name more iconic duo.

I fail to see why it is desirable to have any big tech company to begin with. Not if they possess enough power to influence legislation and crush any potential upcoming competition.

Because American exceptionalism, grit, fair play where our system doesn’t let anyone put their thumb on scale; no sir, the American economy is not at all “regulated” in a generic sense of the word, to serve certain interests.

American tech companies had free money thrown at them. That regulation of economy is why tech succeeded.

Most software products are unimpressive CRUD apps (before his death Steve Jobs called most web apps minor features hardly worthy of all the investment). Success of tech in the US has little to do with American genius and everything to do with government welfare… which is bad though so we pretend we’re all genius hackers instead

To do more, you have to have a lot of resources that only big (and not just big) companies can have.

Big business aside. I feel regulation is much much harder on small business and startups.

Only the already rich will have resources to keep up with the bureaucracy required to start even the smallest business in Europe.
