Google is a surveillance capitalist. It is a factory farm that extracts from and exploits people. Why do you want to create a “Google of Europe?” Why do you want Europe to capitulate to Silicon Valley’s digital imperialism and become its taxpayer-paid R&D department?

Replying to @aral
Europe already has its own surveillance capitalism, but it does not produce decent user facing software (and probably shitty backends, too). Make no mistake, this is not going to be about surveillance but about competition.

It's amusing that you think you are dumping on EU development, and forget that many US/Silicon Valley companies have big pockets of development in the EU, including remote workers. The only competition in Europe and the world is with the deep pockets of US investors.

I meet so many Europeans in US tech companies. Europe may have people to build innovative tech. But the ecosystem to grow technologically disruptive economic entities is very sparse in the EU.
