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.

The thing is, the new law should allow you to force Facebook to delete every detail they have on you.
Right to be forgotten may primarily have been used by unscrupulous people trying to cover up their past misdeeds, but it's supposed to let you escape the claws of facebook should you decide to do so.

I think that is an artefact of the reporting, people that don't abuse the law aren't going to make the headlines.
