They pulled out of one of the smallest markets they could find, as a PR move to "show that they mean business". They had three restaurants in the entire country, and they pulled out because of the financial crisis, not because of taxes. That's hardly a sign that they would pull out of France, Germany or even Denmark.

If by "international technology" you mean "blatant disregard for privacy", then good riddance. We don't need that sort of "technology".

If McDonalds were to pull out of France there would be quite a few happy French people.

Absolutely. I would not miss them at all here in Denmark, either. We have so many better cafés and fast food restaurants. We absolutely would not miss their bland junk.
