      Are we going to talk about the fact that official reports from the European Parliament are openly (and approvingly) talking about implementing their own version of the Great Firewall of China? pic.twitter.com/yyKOcXdMKV

      Replying to @AlecStapp @balajis
      The Firewall isn't used just to limit information access; it's also used to limit use of American services to foster their Chinese competitors. Europe wants to emulate that protectionism. We in the US at least never see that angle because we never question our own intentions.

      Turns out when the most notable achievement of your continental tech policy is yet another bullshit popup but this time with browser cookie legalese, there might be some underlying cultural constraints preventing you from competing effectively.

      Somehow they didn't realize that their privacy legislation that was supposed to hinder Google effectively made it so that only companies with Google-like legal teams could operate in their market...

      You're right and it's fascinating that despite having 100s of years of globalized capitalism under our belts that lawmakers around the world keep falling for this sort of anticompetitive regulatory capture scheme.

      Intense legal hurdles are probably one of the worst forms of regulation for monopoly development because by effectively imposing a flat dollar-amount barrier to entry and operation you've effectively instituted a regressive tax on businesses in that market.

      Part of it is that when talking with normies or anticapitalist ideologues, when you talk about this, all they hear is bootlicking for the big boys. "Anticompetitive means FAANG profits less, boo-boo." No, anticompetitive means FAANG stay on top, forever.

      Part of me feels that any possible solution would require some form of education in this to the people who write and pass regulatory law, but I'm not sure how that would be done. AOC has an economics degree and still introduced the Green New Deal.

      No one respects an economics degree less than someone with an economics degree AOC did a bachelors which means absolutely nothing on its own, sometimes worse than nothing Fucking @cmkshama has a doctorate (not like, a good one, but) So does @econ_marshall
