Why do these EU laws never seem to target EU companies? On that note its past time for the US DOJ to break up EssilorLuxottica.

Because there are nearly no giant EU tech companies trying to monopolize the world.

the EU has plenty of companies trying to monopolize the world. For example EssilorLuxottica.

I'm curious, what big EU tech companies so big they would be subjected to regulation? AFAIK it's mostly telcos, consulting and semiconductors makers. Telcos are already heavily regulated (at least here in Italy), the rest doesn't really quality for consumer protection laws being B2B.

I'm not really sure how EssilorLuxottica is relevant to questions of digital markets, but I do agree that the US should break them up (at least in the US market).
