This may not seem too concerning at the moment, as most of us don't live in Europe, and all of the big companies, like YouTube and Facebook, are in America, but there's no grantee that YouTube or Facebook won't update their Terms of Services to comply with the European Union's laws so they can go back into European households, as they make tons of money off of that market alone.
Meaning that the stupidity we watch on our free time as whole has been endangered by some dudes sitting at a desk, even if we don't live in Europe! (Gotta love globalization, right?)
