I’m an incredibly bold guy. And I would personally just stop operating in the EU if it was between that and being accountable to their bureaucrats.

So you don't want to be accountable to users, or to bureaucrats? If you had to choose one who would it be?

Might be tough for a Florida-man to understand but there's a difference between being bold and being an a-hole.

		Yeah, that's a very... interesting definition of "bold". One might argue that since operating inside a regulated environment is so out of his comfort zone, setting up shop in the EU would be the bold thing to do.

Nobody's holding a gun to your head, you're welcome to setup shop in the most anarchist society you can find. Good luck with whatever version of "operating" you're able to manage while there :)

You do know that "the bureaucrats" is just a slur for our democratically elected government, right?

In other words, the will of the people.

Yeah but the opponents of the people literally believe democracy is bad and want to go back to monarchism in the form of unaccountable CEO kings that decide the will of the people.

Sadly this is like half the tech workforce too. People too brainwashed to see how destructive their work is to the world.

		I believe it is up to the other half to stand up for decency, for democracy and for the rule of law. Don't be quiet, don't just let things happen. Use your voice while you still have it!
