You mean “American companies”? Not gonna happen. 🇪🇺 is huge -- too
much money to be made there, restrictions or no restrictions. They
will find some way to suck it up -- just as they find ways, wherever,
possible, to continue doing business in China.

Because to do otherwise is to leave the way open for homegrown
European companies to arise, compliant with EU-based standards, and
maybe even export this novel concept, of the user’s needs coming
before those of the platform owner, to the USA.

None of these American companies wants that to happen, would they?
