Everyone basically agrees with you but, don't pin the article on just that.

I would have liked to have seen more of a focus on 'how government policy is made'(and why). Clearly there have been some lawsuits against companies that have been leading up to this government decision in California. Extending the local context could have been an angle, instead of reaching far away(Austria).

Even so, well done on the website.

Why not, right?

I don't like these choices.

Just like US companies don’t adhere to EU laws, foreign companies won’t all adhere to Utah laws.
