US companies should not be subject to extraterritoriality applied by non-US entities. If EU want to charge and / or change Big Tech, they should create their own digital companies in their sovereign tech eco-system which might be interconnected and interoperable with the US and China internets.

Companies always have a choice: Comply with local regulations or leave the market. Nobody is forcing US companies to offer their services in the EU.

I kinda agree but given the amount of extraterritorial regulation the US pushes on other countries that's just rich

US is hegemon. It is not hypocrisy, it is hierarchy. If EU or anyone else does not like this, they should seek independence from US systems, or accept subservience.

And they don't even that. The newest stint of the commission of fools wants to require Googles app verification for their age check solution. All the while claiming to fight for digital sovereignty.

They are heavily overtaxed with the false problems they imposed on themselves.
