Facebook, Google et al. literally just said "fuck it" and stopped serving news content to Canadian and Australian users when they tried legislating around it. I'm curious if UK users won't just get geoblocked out of many major services lol
The owner these companies are apparently liable for correctly policing content on their platform. If they fail, they face jail time. That's certainly not a risk I'd be comfortable with, so I sure as hell would gtfo too.
Only an issue for that person if they plan to go to Europe
