Many US news sites have yet to comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation after more than two months, leaving European visitors blocked.
Digital outlets run by Tronc, Lee Enterprises and GateHouse Media are among the hundreds of US news websites that remain unavailable within the EU, according to NiemanLab.
The General Data Protection Regulation, also known as GDPR, is designed to give the EU's 500 million citizens greater control over how their information is used online. Adopted in April 2016, its provisions became directly applicable in EU member states after a two-year transitional period.

For reasons that must make sense to the management, NedSpace has a HUGE projection TV in a lounge that I would otherwise avail myself of.
No one ever watches it.
Well someone does from time to time, because once a week or so it will have a different channel.
But no one ever turns the damn thing off.
Lately it's been left tuned to MSNBC. I pass through the lounge when I go to or from the can. MSNBC is running two or three different Trump stories, Manafort and that Congresscritter who just got busted for giving his son an illegal stock tip.
Over And Over And Over Again.
Those are the ONLY stories that MSNBC has been running this week. Surely _something_ else has happened? Somewhere? Please for the love of God let something _else_ be newsworthy!@

MSNBC has turned into the anti-trump channel ... which may explain why its rating are up the last two years.

They are bombing kids in Yemen with US made and supplied bombs. For example. But no news for American consumption.

Did MSNBC report that? It's in the record too; the judge pointed it out. The dude was seriously crying because his case against Manafort is a failing mess.
Here it is, highlighted:

(search for one of: tears, watery, cry... and the rest of the stuff is great reading as well)
MSNBC would have you believe that there is some major Trump-related issue that will ultimately lead to impeachment over Russian stuff. Really, it's a collapsing case over old stuff that long predates working for Trump. Manafort might be sleazy, and probably violated the law (far less than democrats did), but at this point it is clear that he is facing malicious prosecution.

-es.
Manafort got $20,000,000 in loans by lying to several different banks. That all by itself is enough to convict him.
