Great news. Although it's bizarre that it took an entire continent passing a new law to get to this point.
Not every country in Europe is in the EU
*Most of the best parts of a continent
Neither are these laws voted by EU, rather EC and are applied to all the EEA and even countries currently in the process of accession as they are required by the agreement to keep aligning their laws with EU ones until they reach membership.
Butbutbut the free market will regulate itself! Vote with your wallet!
Surely hardly any believe there should be NO regulation?
I don't know about no regulation, but there are certainly people who seem to be against any more regulation. Despite current regulations being rather inadequate, imo.
I guess it depends on where you live. In the EU, I’m fairly happy with the regulation the market receives.
I mean, yeah. Mostly same. New regulations like these are good and I'd wish for them to continue this course. Continuing to observe the market and adding new regulations where new exploits pop up.
But that is not the kind of person I'm referring to.
