A decade ago GDPR didn't exist.

Legislation has consequences.

It’s not just Europe that’s blocked
GDPR was just an example. I was suggesting that the 2023 regulatory environment looks very dissimilar to the 2013 one. The company is bigger and is a bigger target of lawsuits as well and there's some precedent that European rollouts will be more difficult (like with Italy's ChatGPT ban).

Though the release does say 180 countries and with rollouts like this it tends to be staged so I wouldn't be surprised if some folks in this thread (i.e.. the person from Canada) are just hitting a cache.
