The EU isn't as bad as some Americans want to believe.

The EU’s heart is in the right place, which can only rarely be said of the US.

But the EU’s approach is often backwards. When product managers have to ask the government if it’s ok to ship a feature, something is wrong. When the government responds that it can’t say in advance, you’ll just have to ship and see if you get fined, something is really seriously broken.

If a company is about to produce millions of physical products, I think it is quite ok if they first check with the government to see if that is a good idea.

Same with social media features that are rolled out to millions of users.

They aren't perfect but at least they try. All our government does is bomb brown people and cut taxes for the wealthy.
