   Apple nerds in the US, for the love of god:

   Stop bleating on about how EU regulators are terrible, they don’t know anything, won’t do anything, don’t represent what EU citizens want.

   The world is not America. The EU is not America. They do not always want or value the same things. Maybe try talking to some Europeans?!

     @adrianhon the fanboy consumerism so prevalent currently in the US would be charmingly parochial if it wasn't so dangerously contagious.

     When large pools of people in a leading (wealthy, educated) country adopt certain ways and lifestyles this has profound implications elsewhere (it defines what "good" looks like).

     E.g., long before #bigtech and the US love affair with #surveillancecapitalism people copied urban development and mobility patterns, with disastrous and still unpaid bills.
