Don’t people just assume that new tech isn’t going to appear in EU for a while, if ever? Does it need to be said with each release?

We aren't EU any more (UK), but even when we were, the UK seemed to get first-dibs on most new tech releases after the US, and more often than not at the same time as.

And the UK has essentially identical laws relating to data protection right now, so it's weird that Google were OK to launch there, but not the EU.
