    This is of course total bollocks and an EU based big-tech wouldn’t be significantly better than an US or China based one

    “Better” isn’t the right term here.

    Note the difference: Trillions of bucks flowing to California, or Trillions of bucks flowing into European pockets.

      Okay, I will note the difference: there is none; a trillion in the pockets of an US billionair that doesn’t pay taxes is the same as a trillion in the pockets of a Europen billionair that doesn’t pay taxes.

      No, that is a false comparison. Keeping money in the local economy doesn’t mean we have to have our own monopolistic surveillance capitalist big-tech companies.
