Why do you think they wouldn't? They did it for the US with the "Patriot Act"

Western Europe population is only 2.5% of the total world population

This is not a 'bugfix', it's a feature removal! I've used it all the time, now there's one extra step to navigate to a URL that I copy

is iPad mini dead?
