This is not public scrutiny though, that comes from the public and their institutions. This is simply a nation meddling in the internal affairs of other nations.
It’s not so innocent and pure are you are trying to portray. The average person cares more about important issues like immigration, jobs, economy .. not self appointed experts trying to regulate software companies about things that don’t have material impact on their lives ..
Im a big fan of democracy. It's made me fabulously wealthy compared to the third world one party socialist system (until early 2000s) I grew up under ... my point isn't that the US knows better than Dutch voters. It's that I doubt the average Dutch person (and by average I literally mean the 99%) gives a flying f*K about whether Google Cloud is the right place to store data or whether AWS is a monopoly. Most people care about housing, jobs, wages, immigration, crime, healthcare, and the cost of living ... the reason these bureaucrates can spend so much time meddling in tech is precisely because most people aren't paying attention. I'd like to see the same regulatory energy directed at the problems ordinary people actually talk about at the dinner table ..

So the United States should step in because it knows better than our elected representatives? Are you sure you're on the side of democracy here?
