GDPR Forgive Us, It's Been One Month Since You Were Enforced…

from the much-ado-about-nothing dept.

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

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."

  How we deal with our currency is also our problem. In fact, the ECB's. Not the US's, not the FED. The US doesn't have to buy our Euros. You can also dump them (like many oil producing countries are planning or want to do with US dollars). You don't have to buy our European goods and services. That trade balance, if it actually exists (because that Trump clown saying so, doesn't make it true. The numbers are saying something completely different) is something the US created all by itself by exporting labor and importing cheap Chinese piece of shit goods.

  Spend less on wars and more on your economy, education, infrastructure, equality, social security.

  Not our fault that the US basically fucked itself up as an empire. Maybe get rid of that deep state shit, make it stop lying to the world and stop feeling so goddamn special. The US is not exceptional.

  Put differently. Let's get it on, with that trade war.

  ....We are finishing our study of Tariffs on cars from the E.U. in that they have long taken advantage of the U.S. in the form of Trade Barriers and Tariffs. In the end it will all even out - and it won’t take very long! [twitter.com]
