If it’s an investment what is the expected ROI

The ability to continue to do business. Trump has promised to place excessive tariffs on imports between 25% and 100%. Some of that is no doubt Trump bullshit scare tactics. But he's in a position to make a lot of it happen, stacking all three branches as he has. If any company runs afoul of him they can look forward to a lot of interference in their business. Congressional hearings, FBI investigations who knows what. It's his stacked deck and he'll be dealing the hands.

Tim Cook did the same thing with Biden. Also, why did Wesley coin the President-Elect as controversial? He won in an electoral college landslide and also won the popular vote by over 4 million votes. I’d say the country clearly stated who they wanted. No controversy here folks. Maybe let’s just stick with tech news and not show our biased political views in a tech article. 

He's controversial not because he won, but because of who he is and what he believes. There's nothing biased or even political about that. The mountain of lawsuits, assault claims, overt racism, sexism, and indignation for any country that isn't the United States makes him a controversial president.

Saying someone is controversial isn't an insult or attack. It's a simple fact.

I think the UK/EU (and really every other government agency) needs to decide if they want to prioritize the consumer and the internet writ large or other business interests.

Between pop-ups, surveys, requests for email, tracking permission, the occupation of screen space by ads that blur the line between content and promotion, etc etc, the internet has become progressively un-usable.

But there seems to be some confusion from governments about what is truly important.

Honestly we need to embrace the idea of subscribing to websites we use and not to expect them all to be free.
