Such derogatory commentary is not adding any value to the conversation. I would refrain from dismissing Europe's industry, and cities with such a tone. The most perplexing part in all of this is the stance that this thread seems to commend.

Even more so, given the societal unrest seen in the USA. Just baffling.

To be fair, the social unrest of the US fueled by social media & advertising is now exporting itself to other countries - starting with the English-speaking ones (since the content can be reused as-is) but it's just a matter of time before it consumes other countries too.

Fair, and that's why I personally see a lot of value within these regulations.
