If we had been smart, we would have banned Google, Facebook and Amazon on our continent and made our own like the Chinese did. It's telling how ridiculed they still are for this obvious move.

I used to think the Europe was mistaken by demanding that the user's data be processed in Europe and all that, but having read a bit more on history, it's a tactical disadvantage to let someone else have so much control over your society.

AFAIK there is no such demand. The only demand is that if you want to process EU user's data outside of EU the place where you want to process that data needs to have privacy laws compatible with the EU ones.
