Yeah, for the US/Canda only yet again, don’t think I’ve seen a single EU giveaway.
I hear EU regulators are in the process of finalizing a charge sheet against MacRumors, initiated by complaints from everyone outside Canada and the US... :D

[shamelessly stolen from MR article ('https://www.macrumors.com/2021/03/04/eu-prepares-to-charge-apple-in-spotify-dispute/') about EU doing that (charge sheet) for Apple]

Wish they'd put their disclaimer at the top of their giveaway articles.
