- Aeolun 2y agoCan you imagine what the kids (or any of the other lesser people) would do if they got their grubby little hands on it?
- Ntrails 2y agoI did not spend 5 minutes on euphemisms as prompts. Nope nope nope.
- computerphage 2y agoDid you find any that didn't work?
- sfitz 2y agoperhaps due to the risk of a profane prompt giving an undesired result to someone underage?
- Aeolun 2y agoI’m inclined to say that if they enter prompts like that the result is very much desired.
- bartekpacia 2y agoApparently EU is one of these regions. But what’s up with… chess?
- FredPret 2y agoLimiting access for EU users is an easy way to sidestep a hell of a lot of potential legal liability. It’s a fast-moving and complex regulatory environment that is focused on punishing/controlling big US businesses. Option A is to burn a pile of cash and time to keep abreast of it. Option B is simply… block the EU.

- Woeps 2y agoThat is focused on protecting costumers (mostly their own). There I fixed it for you ;) Edit: okay okay, I get it... Consumer protection bad, Big Tech good!
- seu 2y ago> Limiting access for EU users is an easy way to sidestep a hell of a lot of potential legal liability. It’s a fast-moving and complex regulatory environment that is focused on punishing/controlling big US businesses. Have you considered a less paranoid explanation, like... focused on protecting Europeans from the abuses of big corporations?
- FredPret 2y agoI wanted you and your sibling commenter to know that even though we're probably coming from opposite ends of the political spectrum, I meant no malice or schadenfreude by my comment. Despite being a huge capitalist, I do think there's a sweet spot of very minimal regulation that works out best for everyone. However, the blocking-the-EU outcome is obvious after a couple of minutes of thinking about it in game theory terms. Another one to look out for is companies (both physical and digital) that never even considered doing business in the EU, but who would have if it were easy.
