The fallout from this will hit the EU hard, I suspect, but sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes. At least they don't have Trump.

The whole thing was a special interest protectionism that EU legislators were either too stupid to realize the eventual impact or thought there were enough loopholes for their favored company. Either way, the EU will realize why so little innovation happens in the EU despite its size and wealth. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Twitter, etc.... If they were EU-based companies, I suspect this "law" wouldn't have passed.
