I don't agree with you (or sibling). I did consider that, and also for that matter that there could be a "Nebraska, Europe", after all there are various European cities/places names all over the US. But the extra context ("may not even know where Brussels is (it's in Belgium)") makes clear that while they are using the reference they are in fact referring to Americans as being covered, or else it makes no sense. And further, this has been an ongoing thread in relation to this act. ~3 weeks ago HN had a thread [0] on this as well regarding a letter to the European Parliament on the CRA from the Internet Systems Consortium [1], and it too had comments from non-Europeans thinking it applied to them. That over simplified narrative has been getting pushed on HN as well in general, such as with the GDPR.
