    Is this true though? There are tons of policies and procedures the US government has required for decades that never got adopted by the private sector.

    I was going to say 'No way, profit > idealistic moral virtues'. But I could totally see Europe knee capping themselves. Look at how their food is inferior to the US because they stick to tradition.

    I can totally see themselves doing this out of pride/humiliation.

      Not direct numbers. But you can see r/BuyFromEU has 795K Weekly visitors. That is A LOT. In comparison, r/OpenAI has 676K Weekly visitors and r/webdev has 691K Weekly visitors.

Yes, and it's clear European governments are just catching up to the sentiment of European people.
