      And they have donated to democrats too.

      Edit: and that was at his in inauguration too. They are just trying to massage him a bit for some favors. That would actually be good for European businesses.

      The donation aims to continue to expand our presence in Washington, D.C., while furthering the goals of our platform and our creators

        Massage him for favours? So bribe him? That’s not better. Spotify is a great European success story, but a shitty company, as is often the case for large companies.

          It’s better for a European company to bribe an American than for an American company to bribe a European. No?

              That is what all Americans companies do. They literally just view the fines as a type of tax or they find ways to bypass the law entirely. This is one of the reasons they are able to dominate.
