I'm surprised that most of the comments here are siding with Europe blindly?

Am I the only one who assumes by default that European regulation will be heavy-handed and ill conceived?

I’d side with Europe blindly over any corporation.

The European government has at least a passing interest in the well being of human beings while that is not valued by the incentives that corporations live by

All corporations that exist everywhere make worse decisions than Europe is a weirdly broad statement to make.

The EU is pushing for a backdoor in all major messaging/email providers to "protect the children". No limits and no probable cause required. Everyone is a suspect.

Are you still sure you want to side blindly with the EU?
