I find myself experiencing similar frustrations from the other side.

I'm an American and I find it troublesome and tiresome when people want to adopt the EU's way of doing things, just because that's how it's done over there.

I like that things are done differently in different places. It gives all of us a chance to see what things work and what things don't. The EU's privacy protections are something that I happen to think work much better than ours.

I'd love to see a "Silicon Valley of Europe" emerge as a competitor. We could see how things play out under the different ways of doing things.
