Not just Europe: also no Canada, China, Russia, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Norway, Iceland, etc.

United Kingdom, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Norway and Iceland are all part of Europe.

> Not just Europe, also no [mostly European countries]

EU is not Europe.

  • Also, Bulgaria is part of EU

    • Ok for Bulgaria my bad, I got confused because of their status with regards to Schengen. I was wrong.

      Site-note, literally quoting Bard:

      Here's a statement that definitively proves that Bulgaria is not a member of the European Union:

      "Bulgaria is not a member of the European Union."

      For other countries, I thought the original message was making reference to the stricter regulations of the European Union but I wanted to emphasis that the issue was beyond EU ("Europe"), as it affects Canada, Switzerland, etc.

This looks like a list of countries that:

- have digital partnerships with the EU where the DMA or very similar regulation is/may be in effect or soon to take effect (e.g. Canada, Switzerland).

- countries where US companies are limited in providing advanced AI tech (China)

- countries where US companies are barred from trading, or where trade is extremely limited (Russia). Also note the absence of Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, North Korea, etc.
