    It's a monkey's paw situation. Sure, the EU will protect us from American tech abuse... and implement the same policies internally.

    We need an African Tech revolution. Unless their tech follows the same path, then we run to an Australian tech revolution. Asian tech is already cooked and has been for a long time.

    It's not capitalism, it would happen under any system. It's caused by psychotic power hungry narcissists willing to do anything to stay in control...you know, the type of people willing to do anything to obtain power in the first place. It is the bane of society, only the people who are unfit to have the power are the ones who seek it.

    Africa tech is just Chinese tech so they're already cooked.

    Australia basically banned encryption long ago and in doing killed off their tech industry.

    We need a New Zealand tech revolution, which is where all the Australian IT firms relocated to following the encryption ban.

    It was never about freedom, but about restoring control of European governments over their citizens' online presence and their data, so that everything they do on the internet is subject to European laws and regulations, not American ones.
