The thing is, that site is misleading, a product that is legal in pretty much the whole world (currently) but against the law in two countries, does not make the product illegal anywhere else, and it seems more likely that the fault would be on the companies implementing it in those countries, not in the global service that is being provided.

Then again, even though this is google, I'm not big on localized countries attempt to create laws that dictate the behavior of the internet as a whole, admittedly this is a different issue.

The website does not say Google analytics is illegal everywhere in the world. Only that it might be in parts of Europe. I don't think this is insignificant enough to be considered misleading.

Its 2 countries, based on the site (which honestly seems low) I would say its pretty insignificant to be anything but an ad.

It's against the law in many countries (any EU countries, and therefore also likely the UK) but only tested in court in two countries.
