SoylentNews is people

from the much-ado-about-nothing dept.

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."

    Sorry, you'll have to define "we". Soylent? Yes, I can see that Soylent respects privacy, freedom of speech, and more. Or, did you mean corporations? Or, US government? Or, the global community of man? Or . . .

    I'll stop trying to guess. Please, define that "we" in your post.

    SN. Claiming any of the rest would be absurd.

      Just myself. Claiming any of the rest would be absurd.
