    Yeah. I don’t know about the Netherlands but Ireland’s specialty seems to be protecting big tech from consequences, while making EU citizens vulnerable to online abuse and radicalisation.

    Britain left the EU to become “sovereign” and hasn’t done any better so I’m not sure who we can trust to regulate these platforms.

      The Netherlands just fined Tesla for like 800M, so it’s not as bad as Ireland; but don’t forget it’s not some random coincidence these non-European companies chose to put their headquarter in these places.
