       Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no longer have to pay eye watering roaming fees for calls and data when you travel to other EU countries, as it was common until 5-10 years ago.Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if big tech has at least some constraints onto what it can do with your data and how much choice you have as a customer.Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you, as a EU citizen, can benefit from the services of any other embassy of any other EU country if stranded abroad.Those who try to depict the EU as a bureaucratic hell worth dismantling are those who hate the impact that its laws have on their freedom of exploiting markets, exploiting customers or living out of rent money.Or those who hate the combined economic and political power of a united Europe with a single market because it threatens their national interests, and they’d rather exert their leverage with a bunch of divided and weaker countries instead.Europe isn’t perfect and a lot can be improved. But those who call for its demise DO NOT talk in your interests.

       @fabio The other thing is: a common set of regulations for the whole of the EU is good for corps too. It means they don't have to deal with individual countries' regulations nearly as much.

       @JessTheUnstill @fabio (except, of course, those who would make money from violating the regulations, see the lobbying about relaxing the GDPR)
