It’s not about the algorithm but about the owner of the platform.

The same algorithm in US possession isn’t a problem.

Indeed, it's all protectionism. They want the money to go to American companies instead. Why do you think the EU, which is generally far more aggressive about these things, has not yet banned TikTok? It's also the same reason Huawei are thriving elsewhere but banned in the US. It's all just trying to protect their big companies with deep pockets.

    EU is always slow. They felt browser choice was an issue 0 years after it stopped being one, and then freaked out about cookies also 10 more more years later when it wasn't really an issue. Data tracking is an issue, sure. Not cookies though, not anymore.

Well said. Only if we start looking at both of these issues separately, owner and algorith and deal with each one appropriately.
