Considering that many US tech giants ignore user privacy concerns or resort to unfair trade practices and the potential snooping by government in China, what EU is doing brings some sort of balance and accountability.

The internet couldn't have started anywhere but in the US (freedom of expression + pop culture), but its future version will be better off thanks to regulation, we're probably at the low point (PII abuse, fake news, flame wars, etc.), and it'll get better.

It took a British invention to make a real use out of an American one. The internet without the web wouldn’t be the internet we know today. Web is internet’s killer app.

Slippery slope there w.r.t. "real use" IMHO but sure, web popularized it. I am not sure if the web in it's "current" form is, from a technical PoV, good, bad, or horrendous. Again, all IMHO. Cheers!
