US perhaps, but not Europe. I could actually see the EU attempting to regulate it.

Bro EU was literally created to serve coal and energy companies, EU is just as corporately owned as US is, at best only slightly less.

It depends, countries like France and Portugal probably aren't that different from the US, but northern European countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany etc have the lowest levels of corruption in the world and are Europe's leaders in AI and big playmakers in EU decisions.

Corruption Perceptions Index

>The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is an index which ranks countries "by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys". The CPI generally defines corruption as an "abuse of entrusted power for private gain". The index is published annually by the non-governmental organisation Transparency International since 1995. The 2021 CPI, published in January 2022, currently ranks 180 countries "on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt)" based on the situation between 1 May 2020 and 30 April 2021.

Levels of corruption doesn't mean jackshit when corporate interference is pretty much baked into the system.

Can you give an example of that in Finland or Denmark?

The fact that they are a part of EU? I already told you, the organization was literally created, and exists, to protect corporate interests throughout the continent.
