Yes, like America. This may shock you, but America isn't always right.

That was exactly your parent's point?

So whataboutism is a valid justification to continue the practice?

They're arguing that US companies are afraid of the EU behaving like the US, & then asserting that the EU will not behave like the US

It's always wrong to be the first in the thread to invoke "whataboutism".

Exactly. It's possible to criticise what the EU are doing without thinking the United States does everything right - or even that it does it better.

Disappointing to see so many EU apologists defaulting to whataboutism.
