      Exactly, and you dont need to be consistent in this case. You set examples for the biggest offenders, and then others would think twice.

      Also, you need to qualify as a gate keeper to be in the lime light. EU is going for the biggest, not everyone at once.

      And for the Amazon example: they are only big in some EU countries, and its not close to US popularity. They might not be a gate keeper here.
