When you say "hinders innovation" do you mean "doesn't maximize shareholder value" ?
regulation doesn't hinder innovation as long as it is equally enforced on everyone competing in the regulated market. it does hinder powerful and rich individuals from making more profit at the cost of the rights of the average population
Which law are you talking about? Genuine question, because I know about EU laws that are "in the name of privacy" and about those that (arguably) "hinder innovation", but I don't know which one fits both
At time of writing, I was thinking of GDPR.
The EU isn’t a single mind. There are a multitude of factions trying to get through all kinds of things.
You are aware that EU is not a single country, right? I know American education is third-world levels these days, so unfortunately I have to ask this.
