>>107877445Only real tech companies exist in Asia. Everything else, both in Europe and in America is marketing and scamming. companies will generally prefer US to EU cause they are allowed to get away with everything
>>107877445Yes, it means that American companies make more profits in the EU than EU companies do (if they didn't, then they wouldn't be able or even willing to make the fines.)It also means that EU policies and resteictions make it more profitable for American companies to operate in the EU than for EU companies to operate in the EU.Of course this goes against the narrative of "oy vey the EU is exploiting our poor american corporaterinos" because it implies that America profits from the EU more than Europeans do.
>>107877445Nobody forces any of those companies to operate in Europe, if they don't like it they can go away.>b-but then you won't be able to use--I don't care.Also pretty hilarious chart, Uber wasn't even fined because it was a tech company, it was fined because they didn't pay taxes for their delivery boys.
>>107877445maybe stop breaking the law
I like how this also neatly divides the tech companies into ones that do something useful and one that do ???????. Actually I guess Apple makes hardware.
>>107877445Kek EU has made US it's bitch.
>>107877445Why don't US tech companies make software that doesn't assrape their users so they don't get fined?
Why can't the US rein in their tech monopolies and make them behave humanely?
>>107877445Big tech is the fucking worst.I say take everything from them.
>>107877733Humanely? That sounds bad for capitalism.
>>107877445don't care, still have a better quality of life than (You)>takes 8 week paid holiday
>>107877733Why do you think the big tech companies are all in the US? Because they only get so big by user-hostile and anti-competitive behaviour that doesn't fly in the EU. Now, since they are already big they can easily break the laws of other countries and just pay fines. But a native company couldn't keep breaking the law, pay the fines, and get as big.
have they tried following laws

>>107877445>Zalando>Tech company What?
>>107877445half of those are absolute useless cancer, stuff like amazon is at least useful but it's going to be hard for a local entity to compete with them considering they're a global entity with infinite money.The EU is made of many small states, they simply don't have the synergy of the USA.California would definitely be a harder time if it wasn't part of the US
>>107877526>stop breaking the EU law on your american server hosted in america with american moneymental illness.
