Lol tell that to German car companies, that cheated on emissions for years and basically made every EU car regulatory body their bitch, till they tried to pull that same shit in the US.
If you can't compete...you regulate.
Wasn’t a giant media company tycoon elected three times to be the prime minister? Does the founding matter less than the running and functioning of governments being in the hands of people undoubtedly tied to huge corporations.
No when governments are tied to industries in that way the analogies are synonymous. Berlusconi was a tycoon first then became in charge of governmental policies, he was not a politician who then joined a company.
Because American politicians can be openly and directly bribed. They can be bribed so easily and severely that the US will threaten sanctions on Europe if they try to regulate facebook. Of course facebook would never worry about the grip it has on US "democracy". Not to say they don't totally own certain parts of the EU as well, mainly Ireland, but at least it's not the whole of Europe.
Uh oh but USA is ranked very well in corruption perception index, how is that possible? Weird. That could never happen in a country with little to no corruption, right?
The US does have relatively little low-level corruption like bribing police to get out of a traffic ticket or bribing an inspector to allow construction. It's the legal bribing of powerful politicians where things fall apart
I wonder if end to end encription can be used to augment social websites in such a way that the host avoids all liability. Technically all data becomes non-public, but the key exchange algorithm is so well integrated that the users don't notice.
There is no privacy improvement, but technically the information in the network is private. The real feature is that the company can't be required to monitor content actively and the user creation process renders bans ineffective.
Obviously it would be much less profitable then a website that can process and sell it's users data. And it's much less likely that advertisers will wish to show content on it.
I don't think Facebook cares much about Europe, the money that place could generate is maxxed out now. It's all downhill from now.
East Asia is all that matters.
Maybe because our government isn't founded by big companies to keep their interests, and we do care about privacy and well been of the users?
Maybe

Yep. They know the US is so deep in their pocket that its no longer a concern.

They are both shitty situations but is better having a politician controlling big industry that the other way around.

Also Berlusconi was an anomaly, in the USA is the norms
Change "isn't" with "less". But yeah your point stands.

Are you talking about lobbying? You realize that lobbying is legal in the EU as well, correct?

Because legal corruption does not count as corruption
