Nowhere else do people mention the continent as much as Europe. And, for the life of me, I don't know why this is!? And it always seems to mean "we respect your data". Let the product speak for itself, I'm not switching from something that works well to something that works okay, but respects my privacy a bit more.

It's not so mich about the continent more about the jurisdiction, europe has GDPR which seems to do an ok job. You don't have to switch to a more privacy focused service but it's good that they exist and you can see that more and more of those services are popping up, protonmail for mail, duckduckgo for search and so on

Only some places in Europe have the GDPR. The EU is not all of Europe.

I talk about europe and the jurisdiction ofc I mean the european union, I don't think I have to spell that out

I understand what you did, but I don't think it actually answers the question. Saying an organization is based in Europe does not mean they are bound by the GDPR. If that was the intention then it should say EU to make it clear.
