Are you saying that upon reading a sentence like

"Meta disagrees with European regulation"

That you don't have an immediate guess at which party you are most likely to agree with?

I do and I think most people do.

I'm not about to go around spreading my uninformed opinion though. What my comment said was that I was surprised at people's kneejerk reaction that Europe must be right, especially on HN. Perhaps I should have also chided those people for commenting at all, but that's hindsight for you.

The "kneejerk reaction" is precisely because it's Meta. You know, the poor innocent trillion-dollar supranational corporation whose latest foray into AI was "opt-in all of our users into training our AI and make the opt-out an awkward broken multi-step process designed to discourage the opt-out".

Whereas EU's "heavy-handed and ill-conceived" regulations are "respect copyright, respect user choice, document your models, and use AI responsibly".

This is literally an ad hominem.

Meta is capable of having correct actions and opinions and you are grossly oversimplifying the EU regulation.
