Son when do these companies follow suit with the LA Times and pull out of Europe?

Yes, that'd be a good thing.

In other news the Balkanization of the Internet continues unabated (as I predicted years ago).

I'm sure Europe would be delighted if all these ad targeting parasites and a credit reference agency that can't keep data secure left. 150m records with credit card details and addresses wasn't it?

Life in Europe and online would probably be noticeably nicer without.

Are you implying balkanization of the internet is a bad thing? An open internet seems like a stoner hippie concept - as it stands currently, we're playing around in an open field while China has built a fortress next door and is lobbing rocks down on us.
