    I don't think 'good for them' is the thing that matters here though. The EU is a massive market for Instagram and we've seen first hand in recent years where EU leadership's loyalties lie.

    It's possible they won't follow the US lead but I wouldn't be too surprised if they do.

      Good point... I'd imagine the list of countries that would follow is probably similar to the list of countries that banned Huawei
