    I was under the impression that the EU has pretty strict privacy laws and oversight. Is Canada stricter?

      No. Canada might have different laws, but they are no more stringent than the EU or California. Surely there is differing regulations, and might be the market size that had it dropped in priority.

        This is right, it’s not hard to imagine that compliance is part of a ROI equation along with number of users.

        EU has a population of 700 million vs Canada’s 40.
