This is the exact quote, folks. No games!
It's anything but a happy General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) day for several major U.S. news organizations as their websites are temporarily blocked in Europe as a new data privacy law goes into effect today.
Websites such as the LA Times, NY Daily News and Chicago Tribune are all temporarily blocked this morning, saying their content is unavailable in most European countries.
Anyone trying to access the sites, which also include those owned by Tronc and Lee Enterprises (examples include Orlando Sentinel [Tronc], Arizona Daily Sun and the St. Louis Dispatch [Lee Entperises]) see a message explaining that the website is working with European authorities on trying to get access back as quickly as possible.

GDPR, another silly exercise in fake protection by governments more intrusive than the US or Russia ever thought of being.
Imagine the hue and cry if the US government tried to impose such a ruling on EU news sites!
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

It's frojack. He is a paid up member of the Fox News cult, where all governments are bad and everything they do is to remove someone's "freedom".
Being one of the useful idiots on the internet is what he does.

Not essential, though; useful idiots are more useful if they act from their internal conviction than when they are paid.

That is true A/C, but I assumed that Fox was one of those "Pay TV" channels I have heard so much about.

Doesn't hurt the soylenters to be reminded about, does it?
I mean, growing older doesn't usually enhance memory, I know it from direct experience

It does enhance mammararies though, up until sometime in the teens to early twenties.

You confused "growing up" with "growing old".
Now, if you didn't do it on purpose, I'd start to worry about the mental processes (large grin)

They quite entitled to do so and I wish they would. The rules concern the ability for users to control the use of their data better in both collection and use. Please, please pass the same rules. Then nothing would be blocked.
