When a huge company pulls out if a country due to its laws affecting their ability to make money, it should tell you that the company in question only has its status due to exploiting something that should be being regulated.
Or that a quant figured out it would be cheaper to cut staff and stop operating in a specific region vs pay extra fees to continue operating in that region.
Like Twitch and South Korea huh?
Well in this case the companies that should be regulated are the Internet companies in SK. 😂 Good counterpoint (not /s)
Well yes... Or that the government has enacted laws to extract rent from international companies.
