40M is not a lot on a global scale actually. For many websites that target a global audience that would not be a big number to lose out.
Many US websites now block Europeans because they don't want to bother with the GDPR and I would not be surprised if the opposite starts happening too.
- adventured 4y agoCalifornia nearly has the GDP of Germany and among the highest GDP per capita figures for any major population (~$85,000 - just below Switzerland). That's the difference. "For many websites that target a global audience that would not be a big number to lose out." Now replace that with India, Germany, Japan, France, or Britain; because California is in the same economic tier as those countries.
- Buttons840 4y agoThe GP argues that people are willing to cut off all of Europe. You try to refute their claim by saying that California is smaller than Europe. I don't understand your logic and am not persuaded. Did I miss something?
- _abox 4y agoIndeed, I'm in the EU myself and I've seen several instances of "this site is not available to you due to GDPR". I'm sure sites that are not specifically targeting the US will consider this too if it becomes too much of a burden.
- r00fus 4y agoLOL. California is the 5th largest market in the world. Let sites decide they don't want to be browsed from CA - nothing of value would be lost.
