Consumers have a choice. Use a different product. Choice doesn’t mean I have the right to force a company to provide a product the way I want it. Governments have no right to demand a company make something different than what the company wants to sell, except for safety reasons. If the EU gets away with this, I believe they need to be renamed as dictatorship. That’s what they’ve become. 

To all you EU viewers, what has the EU produced lately? Certainly not any mobile devices or computers. Why don't you just build your own phones? Because you can't? Before you try and tell companies from other countries how to run their businesses why don't you try and replace them with something better instead of telling us what to do.

What makes you think the EU can't do any of that? 

Apple, Google, Facebook, Huawei, Microsoft etc have a lot of R&D carried out in the EU.

As for what the EU has done, just take a look at healthcare, consumer protection, environmental safety, food safety etc and compare those aspects to those available in the US.

Without claiming everything is perfect here I have yet to know a single US citizen living in the EU who does not want to stay here.

Why would that be?

Shouldn’t the EU be focused on other things like Nord Stream 2 and what they’re going to do to heat their homes?

Shouldn’t you be focused on providing clean drinking water to American citizens and repairing failing bridges and power grids, rather than worrying about what the EU is concerned about?
