Whatever you say Google. Hey EU, Google wants to chat with you.
Isn't it weird that EU, famous for being so fragmented that they can't decide on common interior or foreign policy, all while being ridiculed for their large and inefficient bureaucracy, still is the sole entity that manages to stand up to mega corporations?
And those are sometimes fights that have zero benefit to a different wealthy elite, but actually protect citizen liberties.
I shudder to think how the world would look like if EU had not established and enforced the GDPR as well as it does. Consumer protection is probably one of the only fields where the EU had a global positive impact.
