Europe could be more competitive but then they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Just in the past week they're meddling with the infinite scroll feature and then the unrealized taxes in the Netherlands. Why would a tech company wanna operate in such an environment?
Why would we care about competivity where it doesn't benefit society? Addictive social media and wealth accumulation actively harm society
Obviously one cannot simply accept any potential societal trade-off in favor of benefitting the economy, but going too far in the opposite direction eventually manifests as worse living standards for the average person, which is not beneficial to society.
How does banning intentionally addictive media-feed apps (they are not social media, they are parasocial at best) make society worse?

You have fun with that. Lemme know how it goes.
What for an answer is that?
It's not like it's going real well here in the U.S.
Infinite scroll? Just ban social media algorithms you buffoons. Then u can even let kids use it.
