Which Americans are crying foul? I don’t think many everyday people really care about how the EU regulates tech companies. Ask your parents how they feel, or the bartender next time you’re out.

Also the US isn’t an adversary, so it’s different. The stakes are different.

The main issue with the EU approach is that they only view surface level compliance.

There are plenty of anti-GDPR comments any time the subject comes up. Whether they’re FAANG shills or not, they’re numerous and obviously American.

It would be interesting to know what their position is when the shoe is on the other foot.

On this website, many of those with FAANG in their financial portfolio or on their CV. More generally? Virtually nobody.
