Regulating the tech Market is great for local tech só what happens is pretty the opposite. No country will lose GDP if meta or google leave

how much of gdp is facilitated through the search abilities of meta and google, though?

FP tends to have pro-US spin. This article reads as propaganda attempting to protect US interests.

Europe is a place to take social benefits; there is no tech, no innovation. It's better to sit on the couch and watch Netflix than start a business. There is too much risk, too many taxes, and too many regulations.

Ah yes, innovation can only emerge from glorious pits of pain and hellfire.

I might be talking out of my depth, as I don’t live in Europe, but I’ve heard the same paraphrased headlines like these since at least 2016. Has status quo been swayed one way or another since then? Theoretically speaking, wouldn’t legislating away the top US players open the market to the local companies a la Naver in SK, WeChat in China or Line in Japan? I understand I’m dumbing it down, but assuming such legislations are supported by the local residents. I don’t think I would support it, personally, but I can see their point as well.
