It doesn't say "EU regulations to look forward to", this isn't a hype article. Us who actually work in tech in relation to EU markets need to stay up to date on what regulations are introduced so that we can make sure to be in compliance.
Anytime the EU comes up, I'm reminded that this is still a forum on a very ambitious US startup accelerator who sees public safeguards as obstructions to their own million dollar idea.
If your idea can't success without being a parasite to your customers, maybe the business doesn't deserve to exist.
> We are not the kind of people who stand on ideological soapboxes and discuss the state of regulation.
You're soapboxing right now.
My point was about public perception of regulation. And that people do view EU regulation as impacting their tech products in ways similar to product announcements. Not the merits or lack thereof of the EU.
