Folks, this is just my opinion so accord me some "slack" If I may add...
Think about this: -
A continent with comparable GDP as the US...
...allows the USA to "control" its online content...
...allows proprietary file formats to "rule" content they produce...
...ignores capable open source applications even when they can be used as substitutes...
Heck, I can't think of a European based Word Processor, Database application or streaming service! This is not to say these do not exist...The European governments are just happy to be treated as trailers...that is, "simply follow the USA."
Think about this...They are all happy to be in the F35 program even when the USA can dictate the who/when/how/why these planes can be used!
Insane!
