I wonder what it’s like being an European regulator drafting punitive regulation targeting “very large online platforms” and noticing that out of almost twenty of these companies only two are European.
Is there any introspection as to why one’s regulatory system is failing to produce successful companies in your own backyard? https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/dsa-vlops

What if there are other factors? After all, Chinese regulations ARE draconian, yet China can have quite a few "very large online platforms".
What do China and USA have in common? Large population, with common language and common context.
Can it be a factor that makes it easier to accumulate critical mass?
(Example: you can find a lot of Americans willing to discuss political issues but do Spaniards care about Dutch elections?)
