I look forward to the not-too-distant future where the EU protections grow stronger and places like HN have to respond by banning all European users lest they run afoul of a draconic legal framework.
It'll kill a lot of experiments (Mastodon immediately comes to mind; can't be pulling comments from other people's servers if those comments are attached to personal data like the commenter's username, right?).

So dont blame Europe for the legislation, but the abusers that made this legislation mandatory to defend european citizen ;-) Actually, Europe is so slow that a lot of experiments may take place. And there wont be any legislation if there no abuse... It took a loooonnnng time for Europe to react to Facebook, Google & co abuse with users datas. Same for OpenAI using a awful lot of copyrighted material without giving anything back... So thank'em for Europe legislation :-)
