"Privacy Advocates or the European Union don't have anything to complain about?"

There could be many different reasons for the delay, Google hasn’t given a reason so far - I can only imagine they’re treading carefully in the European Union because of the recent Fines dished out by the European Union. This makes me think that Google is ensuring ‘Call Screening’ will be GDPR friendly and won’t break any laws. The reason for delaying specific Features in Countries, other than the United States is because the complexity of each Country is different.

Google has stated that the Assistant is working locally on the Phone, they don't send any Data back to their Servers. This should surely mean Privacy Advocates or the European Union don't have anything to complain about?

It looks like people are being invited to join a Beta of ‘Google Call Screening’ in Canada so far, this could mean that Google is starting to test other Countries too. Google is sending out invites by email, so make sure you’ve signed up to the Dialer App Beta if you want an early chance to test out ‘Call Screening’. My only hope is that Google sends out invites to the Brits too!

There's now Hope for us Brits
