The EU proposals are not THAT unreasonable as to completely kill competition. There are plenty of ways to compete outside of exploiting customers privacy and monopolistic platforms.

Comparing the EU to an authoritarian communist or Juche county doesn’t really seem like good faith engagement, but just in case — the EU is a wildly capitalist/liberal organization, their whole theory is that they can avoid another world war by having the countries that kept causing them totally entangled in a big heavily inter-dependent market. They aren’t going to make a government EuroPhone, they are going to publish standards and let private companies come up with compatible implementations.
