@sun @lain People really struggle for explanations why Europe has become so worthless, so quickly. It was supposed to become a peer to the U.S. in the 1990s. That was only 30 years ago.
The explanations I read or heard fail to reach the root causes[1].
But if the U.S. declines _slower_, doesn't it make more and more superior to EU? Which is what we're observing.

@sun @lain First obstacle is that being EU directive compliant is a large legal expense for any starting business. Second, the only driving force behind "sovereignty" is control; they want control over mass media and since most of the social media is US-based, they don't have much control. Hence why one of the first things they did was introduce locked down digital identity and then make a Bluesky clone requiring ID verification.
@sun yeah, really makes you think 
@lain Tech sovereignty any day now!
is there a reason they don't just fucking do it
I wonder if it's hard to start a business like that in europe for some reason and compete
