content: Both the left and right in the US would do nothing whatsoever to regulate Big Tech, the profits and economic power is too much. Big tech is also intertwined with the intelligence agencies who also exert pressure on both sides to increase their power and this gives leeway to Big Tech. The EU does not have such a Big Tech industry, though it gets plenty of the American lobbyists. Because it has barely any economic gain from that industry it chooses to heavily regulate it to protect from tech overreach. They also fear that they themselves are watched and eavesdropped upon and tracked. Try explaining that to 30-40 year long US Senators who can't even work a fax machine.
