Interestingly, isn't this exactly what happens when American tech companies get fined and/or are forced to implement certain regulations in Europe?

Are European regulations due to people stealing tech devices?

I thought it was due to anti-consumer practices.

[pb7]

Not including anti-theft devices that they include in other countries that mandate them is pretty anti-consumer. In this case, it's also extremely costly and dangerous unlike something like not saving website cookies.

It really depends on how the car is marketed, no?

So making cars that lack basic anti-theft features common in other brands of cars doesn’t count as anti-consumer?

[jasonm23]

No, not if it's not hidden away from the customer and deceptive.
