 * 1) The EU Parliament is a legislature that has members contributed by the member countries. There really is no analogue anywhere else in the world. They mostly deal with regulations between countries with in the EU and between the EU and other countries, so trade is their big bailiwick. The European Parliament wikipedia article has all the pertinent info, though.
 * 2) Big companies have offices and other countries and region and even regional HQs, but they have far less power than the main HQ. This means the regional EU HQ will probably have to deal with the blowback, but most of the engineering will likely be done closer to the main HQ. The issue isn't about HQs, it's about how companies respond.
 * 3) The main thing is not what individual users do on wikis it's what Wikia/FANDOM does about it. The real problem is that the EU regulations are currently super vague.
