Fair use doesn't exist in every country, so it's US only?

Yes, my partner likes to remind me we don't have it here in Australia. You could never write a search engine here. You can't write code that scrapes websites.
It exists in EU also (and it much mire powerful here).
The EU doesn't have a copyright related fair use. Quite the opposite, that why we are getting upload filters.
False. In Spain you have it as under "uso legitimo".
Spain is only part of the EU not the EU.
One exception makes the whole "EU doesn't have" incorrect.

EU doesn't enforce it on the states, yes. But some (maybe all) countries that are in EU do have it.
