Can you point me to any specific study which says that Europeans are more willing pay for content vs. rest of the world? I mean, if that were true, you would see a lot more paywalls in Europe vs. globally.
I don't know of any such study but I'm not sure why I need to given that this law quite clearly reveals the preference of European citizens?
If we would not care about privacy to a greater degree than other regions we would presumably not pass legislation that protects private information and cuts into ad-revenues.
