At least the European laws are debated, and more often than not will then be voted down. America has the similar laws for the state, they're just secret and do not help the average person.

It is also getting harder to argue against descriptive laws on communications when Grok is churning out child pornography and X thinks that's just "the user's fault".

I wonder how hard it would be to get seat belts enshrined in law in the modern day if they never existed. Europe is already throwing out a bunch of safety standards because King Trump wants unsafe American vehicles to be sold in the EU. How about the US stops making crap cars? Oh sorry, that's the "ungrateful" European in me. Trump really is throwing out 80 years of shared progress and proving the anti-US stance that all of it's allies are just vassals.
