Nice
They look at a couple of interesting things. Primarily our little media whore, Facebook.
If Facebook is legislated to change within the EU, I can't imagine why they wouldn't change their infrastructure to change globally. It seems logical to me that if the EU gets the ball rolling, a lot of other countries will step into line too.
If Facebook doesn't choose to go the user friendly approach, I think we'll begin to see surges in the populations of Bulgaria and Latvia.
