Let's go for an unbiased list.

You name the 10 most important tech products of the year so far.

And then we go through them and see if they are available in Europe.

I think the burden of proof lies on the one who makes a claim. So you should be providing list of services that are not available to europeans. And bonus points for not using "threads by instagram" in that list.

Now you made a claim. Time to proof it.

You literally made a claim in your very first reply: "Tech companies now seem to geo-fence their new products and keep European users out right from the start."

When asked for proof, you've run away.

Do name them, please. And then revisit that list and ask yourself: how many of them exist because of two things:

- unlimited investor money with no expectation of profitability

- blatant disregard of data privacy, user privacy, and/or other laws.

Great example is OpenAI. They said they welcomed regulation. The moment EU proposed level-headed sensible regulation [1] that among other things required documentation on how foundational models are trained and where they get their data, Altman screamed that they would pull out of EU.
