SoylentNews
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.

No I am not, Scat. I do not thing you understand the word "agreement" and you certainly do not understand "unilaterally". I am quite sure that you are happy with the trade "agreement" the USA has with NK. I am sure that you are positive that it is not unilateral. How did you feel when your country unilaterally made mine a vassal state? Did you object, protest? Were you even alive?
You are a supporter of USA exceptionalism. When the USA does it is good and when anyone else does it, it is bad. Whatever "it" is.
Not just on this occasion but every time. Tell me (actually don 't bothers) what you think an "agreement" is, what unilateral means. Then consider power.

You're deliberately misunderstanding everything you accuse me of misunderstanding and assuming several things about me that you should not be. I know it would throw your whole world view out the window but do try to see the truth. You can still hate on the US if you like after you do but you'll be doing it for valid reasons.
The difference between diplomacy and genuinely believing your laws apply outside your borders is pretty significant and it behooves you to try understanding it. One is saying "because it's the law" and one is saying "because I fucking said so".
If you want to get into a discussion about US foreign policy and diplomacy throughout the ages, peachy keen. Write a journal article and I'll be happy to give you my opinions on any instance you care to ask about. In this context it's deflection and whataboutism though.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
