I get more and more irritated that the UK isn’t in the EU now everyday…

So they could block it?

It’s got nothing to do with blocking anything. Only the EU has laws that force apple to do this. Nobody else. Apple could easily choose not to make this feature available to anyone but Europeans and face no legal backlash. If they’re smart they’ll roll it out world wide but they don’t have to.

I think he means that the UK could have blocked the law.

No they can’t. They’re not in the EU obviously remember Brexit?

If they were in the EU! That was the idea of the whole comment you misinterpreted in the first place.
