Would investors want to risk investing in a anti-tech part of the world who will blame them for everything?

The EU is populist in trying to blame tech companies for all of society's ills.

No, the EU blames FAANG for skipping taxes and monopolistic behaviour. They might just prefer to punish US companies rather than domestic ones.

What I don't like as an EU citizen is that our network infra is ridden with Huawei equipment. I'd much rather have US equipment and services if domestic companies aren't capable delivering it rather than One Belt, One Road. Just take a look at Kyrgyzstan and how it's going to become a Chinese colony.

Now this is a claim you'll need to substantiate!

Do I need to going into the whole blameing tech for "fake news" while the media spreads it themselves?

Who wants to invest in what will be scapegoat for law makers to cry at?

Agreed, its nicer doing business in a country where you can fraudulently cause global economic meltdown and go on unscathed.

I mut have missed this global economic meltdown you speak of, which was caused by GAFA?

Is lack of corporate accountability exclusive to GAFA?

You can kill ~300 people and noone goes to jail. You can launder money for druglords and just get a fine.

What does a corporation have to do to actually suffer serious consequences, like jailtime or breaking up a company? Something that's not just 'cost of doing business'?
