> so apparently they only care about your privacy if you are a citizen of the EU?
No, they care about being minimally compliant and laws vary.
A number of places have legislation that just says "users much opt in" but the EU has legislation that says "users must opt-in, but cannot be forced to opt-in by there being no opt-out option".
They don't care about your privacy at all, no matter where you are, if any claim otherwise is made it is a lie.
I was being sarcastic. I was referring to the fact that the on the EU dialog it said "we care about your privacy", but in the dialog I got in the US it didn't. And was thus implying that despite their claim, they do not care about anyone's privacy.
