- soared 6y agoYeah, from the perspective that tons of companies stopped doing business in Europe
- maldeh 6y agoSure, as long as we're not insinuating that's an inherently undesirable thing. We're quite literally on a thread involving a product that collected tonnes of sensitive user data without a clear opt-out mechanism while failing to be an effective custodian, after all.
