Because it's European users whose data is being recorded on the order of a court that doesn't even have jurisdiction over them?
EU seems to be pretty concerned with data privacy, and they even have laws protecting it.
No, in the EU it's a violation of your personal rights due to GDPR and in many EU Countries there are local laws that mirror this. This is very much an American failure to have democratic control over what large businesses do.
Yup.A good read regarding this:https://themarkup.org/hello-world/2023/01/14/will-europes-pr...
Illegal in Europe. Maybe by 'anonymising' the data they are satisfying the legal requirements of some other jurisdiction(s).
Why do you think European data protection directive rules won't work here?
Unlawful in the EU, thankfully. The US seriously needs to revaluate it's data protection laws.
You can't send the data of EU people to companies subject to spying states.
not available in the EU = might use everything you did there against you, sell that data to the higgest bidder
In EU you would have to opt in since there are actual data protections for consumers (that's if it is abusing user specific data which I have to assume it is)
