    like they did to the EU to avoid GDPR regulations.

    I dont get this part. Are you saying that the GDPR is a bad thing?

      There are certain sites that don’t follow GDPR regulations, and they decided not to allow EU traffic. So when I come on those sites they say: “Due to GDPR regulations, we are barring you from accessing our site”

      No, the GDPR has a lot of benefits.

      I’m saying that the content companies could weaponise FoMO and say “you can’t play with us any more, UK” then the government would probably have to pull back.

      And then the other places considering doing something similar would have to do the same. Before it becomes the new standard to have “age” gates.
