Couldn’t one argue that the current system is expressly in the interest of the US government? We are entering a new technological age with the US at the forefront and the EU falling further behind while busily erecting more obstacles. Economically, at least.

If it’s not US companies, it will just be Chinese ones. Homegrown isn’t an option the EU places much value on.

The US was stricter on its homegrown giants of the past, so I don't really buy into the idea that the US has to let big tech impose all of its dystopian ideals upon people to retain a lead over China.

The current approach may be benefiting the US economically, but it's also ticking up a time bomb in the form of an increasingly pissed off public.
