By delaying something introducing stupid regulations, they block it.
EU just wants to kill tech, because its ever changing nature means that they can't control it.
Quite the opposite, in EU there is no innovation because only big tech can comply with regulation.

It's been like this for decades since the US is always "throw this into the wild and regulate after we see the horrible consequences".

That's not how GDPR (or any of the other regulations) worked at all.
Not only were the regulations very clear and specific (read the documentation), but they gave companies 5 years to implement (after the regulations were in draft for several years) and a grace period of two years before actually going through with legal action/notice of infringement.
When an infringement occurs you get notified X times per infringement before anything actually happens. It's actually very lax.
Legal action is easy to avoid, but companies thought they could ignore everything and do nothing.

Yep, and we'll drag you neanderthals into the 22nd century kicking and screaming. Introduce whatever r-slurred policies you want to decrease the quality of life for your unwashed masses. We'll cherry pick the ones that aren't butt-backwards and continue innovating.

Wtf u mean, google is absolutely the king of pooping out 1,000 various new projects a year and then slamming them to the ground when they don't take off. Or slamming them to the ground even when they do- like with that music streamer hdmi dongle that came out around chromecasts. All of their services like notes, gmail, maps and their msoft office replacements all started as little innovative turds being haphazardly shotgunned out of google's anus against the wall.
They love doing it so much that they end up stripping development and support from their working projects like gmail and maps just to shit out more ploppers like google cardboard and multiple attempts to make a healthcare tracking app. That's why all their services fricking suck now a days, the original devs that worked on them are forced to go make new dogshit year after year.

Popularized search, make the LLM (chat gpt) aritecture. Gmail. Etc. sure they suck balls now and other company's are taking over but that's a good thing. If you suck you die, but I think the government will bail them out if they ever do get into actual collapse territory. They have a Mano poly on many aspects of the internet but the government won't touch them

It's not even Communism, it's just state capitalist rent seeking.
This change does little to benefit the end user, it exists to siphon money from American tech companies(which suck, but suck for reasons other than "doesn't display competitors services front and center").

I was thinking of the HN posters more so. There is a serious dislike they have there for companies extorting their private property rights and not doing exactly what a foreign government says is the worst thing in the world.

I mean those companies' private property rights are protected by the governments they operate under, so of course they have to comply. It's just the rules these governments make are fricking stupid and don't really solve the real problems.
