The EU is terrible at maintaining good tech companies.
Like, they have some really important and innovative consumer protection regulations, but they are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one...
I don't see how this is the EU's fault. This is some German tax office revoking a status they had previously granted without any explanation. It seems typical for German bureaucracy though.
Fair. That was overgeneralizing German bureaucracy to the entire EU.
But I think the point that tech companies in Europe rarely survive still stands.
Those well-meaning-but-terrible-in-practice consumer protection laws are probably a good indicator of why the EU isn't a hub of technological innovation.
They're at least a symptom of the same underlying outlook on the industry.
Sometimes it seems like it's by design.
