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.

    Nothing AFAICT, I think crawled. There was a webserver with wordpress and whatever debian defaults to. I had the great idea after I got home to write a few web pages with made up random words so I could try different search engines and see who recorded their visit. But I didn't care and not that into that stuff.

    I popped in a new flash when I got home.
