A month after the enforcement date of the General Data Protection Regulation – a law that businesses had two years to prepare for – many websites are still locking out users in the European Union as a method of compliance.
[...] Another retailer that failed to get its house in order is posh homeware store Pottery Barn, whose notice says that "due to technical challenges caused by new regulations in Europe" it can't accept orders from the EU.
"The pace of global regulations is hard to predict," the shop complains about the legislation, which was adopted on 14 April 2016. "But we have the ultimate goal of being able to offer our products everywhere."

Lacking an official site policy on the GDPR, let's go with this one for you European types: lie. The only even arguably personal information we collect is an email address and you can put any address you like in there if you don't mind not being able to get emails from the site. I personally recommend president@whitehouse.gov. It's the one I've used since Clinton when I'm likely to get mail I don't want.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
