@davidculley @aral interesting.

I really never looked at this through the lens of that political / IT cross section before but you're absolutely right.

These guys will fly into a foreign country and kidnap a president. Why wouldn't they abuse their data access

@aral fascinating. I've followed you.

It's crazy all of the "I don't know why startups hate us" and "why don't we have more tech firms like America?" I hear coming out of the European continent.

The simple fact is that the Americans dominate the market and have totally unrestricted access to the EU.

Money gets siphoned out of European consumers and into silicon valley tech salaries.

We're long overdue a change

@aral Europeans are waking up to the fact that the EU has been a giant market funding US tech for decades
