Their laws are basically the equivalent of if there is no code, there are no bugs. EU laws forces citizens to get no new tech, privacy preserved.

Uhm no, EU privacy laws are actually pretty simple: do not collect data you don't need without asking consent from a user first.

Which should IMO be the basic principle worldwide. But unfortunately in many countries, companies are more powerful than governments/regulators, so they get to grab everything they can get their hands on.

Man, if we had computers in EU we'd be really angry at your dumb false posts.
