> Sites need to deal with Australia

Do they? The UK’s population is more than double of Australia’s and some websites (e.g. imgur) are outright blocking the UK.

All publicly-listed ad delivery systems like Meta do in fact need to deal with high-income countries.

They can't afford to and will never strike off 100m Brits and Aussies, and that number will only rise with more high-income countries making regulation.

imgur blocking the UK is not due to ID verification, but because they refused to stop making money off childrens data.

  • The reason is irrelevant. The point is websites don’t need to deal with <insert country>.
