So it’s not going to be available in the EU and UK? That’s fine.

As I understand it, the GDPR would require explicit consent from the subject before this data could be gathered in the first place, with some significant fines if breached.

No? Oh, that’s a shame. I was hoping for some improvement in the world, but a random person on the internet said it wasn’t possible without giving any reasons at all. Oh well.

Maximum target waiting time is 13 weeks - AFTER you get a referral from a GP - and not all of those are willing to refer adults who are high functioning because they see it as taking a rare resource away from those more in need.

And it’s dangerous too. Even if they legislated them off the major platforms, there’s a million other ways to communicate online. Hundreds of DMs, talkers, games, live chats, streams, even IRC still exists.

I think you’re reading too much into that.

They’re either under “Rest of world” like the EU, or the US doesn’t import anything from it, which as it’s under sanctions, it shouldn’t - nor export to.
