What are you talking about? Both ChatGPT and Gemini are available in the EU. "EU is just mad" is such a bad faith reductionist take. If you want to live in a corporate dystopia without antitrust & privacy enforcement then go ahead, but don't expect us to follow you.

  It works fine in Italy. ChatGPT just had to comply with local privacy regulations (EU's GDPR) and for a few weeks it was off. They were interested in doing this because other countries could have made a case against them, it's just that Italy was the first to move.

  To my knowledge they've never been "blocked". Google simply didn't release them in the EU for a while.

      So you're just here to troll, got it. Google delayed the EU release, it wasn't "blocked" by the EU at any point.

        > And why is that. You tell us, you were just caught lying on both of your claims. Perhaps it was to give mindless Anti-EU crusaders a new talking point?

        Lying? Are you the law?

        By delaying something introducing stupid regulations, they block it.

        Okay, first, please don't follow me around HN, this isn't Reddit. Second, anti-trust enforcement is an essential element of a functioning capitalist economy while privacy & AI safety regulations are essential to proper functioning of our society. You seem to be naively basing your entire world view on the self-serving opinions of Big Tech CEOs. (Linked in another comment). Perhaps reconsider how you arrive at your opinions? Personally I don't want to be drinking polluted water, eat unsanitary food, live in a place where all housing is owned by a handful of entities that engage in price-fixing, work 80 hours a week in an environment when response to mass worker suicides is to install suicide nets, have my privacy violated by private corporations (foreign or domestic) or have my insurance rates tripled by some opaque discriminatory AI, but you do you in whatever dystopian future you dream of.
