A major social platform just hit #1 in news app rankings across a dozen European markets. The list includes Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Estonia, Slovakia, Malta, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Slovenia.
What's wild? Regulatory pressure from EU authorities appears to have backfired spectacularly. Instead of curbing the platform's reach, the increased scrutiny seems to have amplified user interest and downloads across these smaller member states. Classic Streisand effect in action — when you try to suppress something, you often end up promoting it instead.

The stricter the restrictions, the greater the backlash.
