We are well beyond that with these platforms now. They will identify your location and only abide by those laws based on where you are. This is how many many many subscription sites enforced California unsubscribe laws for years already
I think this probably is illegal in the US too. Whether anything will be done about it is probably a question of money, though. So, since the infringed party here is not wealthy, nothing is likely to come of it.
I am pretty sure that it would be illegal in the EU? That’s abusing monopolistic position.
Unfortunately, in the US we don’t live in society of laws
Perhaps EU can enforce these for you like it has done with Google:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjw3e1pn741o
"Europe’s top court has ruled Google must pay a €2.4bn (£2bn) fine handed down for abusing the market dominance of its shopping comparison service.
(…)
The EU’s case against Google started with Foundem, which filed its complaint against the tech giant in 2009.
At its heart was the contention that Google made its own shopping recommendations appear more prominent than rivals in search results."
Thanks! See you in another 15 yrs!
