More than 40% of the world's e-commerce transactions currently take place in China. The United States’ share of the market is 24%, down from 35% in 2005.

- snaky 8y agoI wonder how much non-US sites and services an average American use daily?
- realusername 8y agoMuch more than they think, there's a lot of big IT companies in Europe as well, they just generally work more behind the scenes.
- peterwwillis 8y agoWe've had our own "Intranet" for many services. Its error message usually looks like "Sorry, you can't load this Netflix/Hulu/Pandora/Spotify/Amazon/HBO content outside of the United States." And now there's many sites with error messages like "Sorry, but the GDPR is, like, hard, so you can't access our site outside the US."
