It kinda is though? Like, to make a product that is illegal there when the competition operates (arguably) better within the legal framework. We can argue if the law is just, but this is not the EU treating Bard differently than its competitors, so it's more of a product choice.

The answer is that OpenAI has a lot less revenue on the line, so they're more willing to take risks in legal grey areas.

I haven't checked, but OpenAI probably also doesn't have any office in EU and doesn't sell services specifically to EU citizens/companies. Thus they may claim not to do any business in EU and ignore letters from EU authorities.

They may but they haven't

No the EU is not treating bard differently. The EU is not doing anything yet. I don't see how Bing or OpenAI can comply with GDPR.

The difference is that Google seems to care more (perhaps because they are under bigger scrutiny) while MS and OpenAI are pulling a "better to ask forgiveness than ask permissions".

Funny how no matter what you do you're damned.

If google decides to just roll it out everywhere like openai and bing did and then wait until a complaint or a lawsuit comes and only then pull the solution out of the hat (you just got several months for free in order to work on a solution while waiting for the complaint or lawsuit), well if google does that they'd be criticised because they do that. If they pause the relevant markets, well they're criticised because it's "immoral to be just complying with weaker laws since there is a stronger law somewhere else that should be taken as example for everyone"
