With ePrivacy looming, German publishers scramble to get users logged in
I really don&#x27;t understand what the EU&#x27;s goal is here. Someone said that it&#x27;s to model the &quot;walled garden of regulation&quot; approach that China has: Make regulations so tough and block out outside actors, creating an internal market that can thrive. Also wanting to break out the dominance of American tech companies within EU, and foster innovation.<p>However, I have yet to see a single argument where these regulations (both GDPR and ePrivacy) don&#x27;t hurt EU businesses, and favors companies outside that don&#x27;t have to abide by these stricter regulations.<p>So why has EU adopted this extremely hard line approach? What is the best case scenario?
