Or, again, they are just deciding the economy isn't worth the cost. (or not worth prioritizing upfront or ....) When we had numerous discussions on HN as these rules were implemented, this is precisely what the europeans said should happen. So why does it now have to be some concerted effort to "put the screws to EU"? I otherwise agree it will be interesting, but mostly in the sense that i watched people swear up and down this was just about protecting EU citizens and they were fine with none of these companies doing anything in the EU or not prioritizing the EU if they decided it wasn't worth the cost. We'll see if that's true or not, i guess, or if they really wanted it to be "you have to do it, but on our terms" or whatever.
