Sure, I don't get perks like SV level salaries (and the costs of living to go with it), but I do believe regulation like this takes a large amount of vision and courage, and I'm proud the EU is going for it.
If you think about it, without regulation, whatever is technically possible will be done because somebody profits in some way from it, or merely enjoys it. A lot of really horrible things are technically possible.
Europeans like you need to realize that you have been fed a whole lot of moral superiority propaganda by pro-EU entities; none of which has any merit. Go look at how much they regulate Bayer to give but one example.
Doesn't make this piece of regulation bad. FWIW, I did applaud the US for going hard after VWs Diesel shenanigans.
Without airbus for example, the US would be able to impose all kinds of rules on Europe. The US could’ve said that any airline purchasing American commercial aircraft must adhere to the US travel ban list.
But one thing that I think is better across multiple products is my ability to request that my identifying information be removed from a service within a reasonable time frame. Or the ability to minimize storing/sharing of my personal information when using a service. Or being able to obtain a copy of the data a company has on me.
