EU needs to the same and may actually get there if EU regulations continue to impose a cost on US / China big tech, such they may decide to withdraw services, establish a de facto firewall via a bramble bush of regulations
From the article (and this is just for IT): "European businesses spend 40% of their IT budgets on complying with regulations, according to a recent survey by Amazon. Two-thirds of European businesses don’t understand their obligations under the EU’s AI Act, which came into force last summer, the survey found."
EU needs a firewall - it needed it in 2010 and it needs it in 2025. There is no chance for any EU based tech organisation to become competitive with US or Chinese apps without it. I consider this an unwelcome truth
