I believe the California law came after the EU one. And it's still easier to just block EU traffic rather than spending several weeks implementing GDPR cookie popups. And if you decide to treat everyone the same way, you likely end up

The CEO isn't an all knowing entity. It's possible they made a judgement call and were wrong. Would you prefer that companies be absolutely sure before they hire anyone to ensure layoffs never happen? It seems like the end result
