There’s been some regulations by the EU that I strongly disagree with. (weakening encryption)
There’s also some regulations I strongly agree with (forcing apple (and others) to adopt usb c, GDPR, opt in to marketing and tracking, right to be forgotten)
I can see why you might think that EU regulations only apply to the EU, but where changes are significant enough for a manufacturer, they might not create multiple hardware and software setups in different markets (see usbc in iphones). There’s also knock on effects in other markets (califorinia, Brazil, india, all have their own version of GDPR)
I feel like I’ve got you wound up, that wasn’t my intent! I was trying to be tongue in cheek. I do believe in regulation though, so maybe that’s where we disagree. Sorry ol’ chap!
I’m a senior leader in a tech organisation. My teams and I frequently need to implement solutions that are compliant with market specific regulations (which have global reach), so I am some what familiar with them.
The EU is broadly doing a good job in my opinion, the US has room for improvement!

Just an FYI, I’m not an “EU person”
