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.

What's worse, if we kick him out, is replacement is even worse. Trump is just a stupid, greedy, bigoted traitor. Pence is additionally a religious maniac.

Lets unpack that.
Stupid. He beat Hillary Clinton, supposedly the smartest person to deign to serve... after you said the same of Obama of the sealed academic records of course. He beat her with the Full panoply of power set against him, the Democratic Party machinery is a given but he had pretty much all of the News and Entertainment industry calling him Hitler reborn and a good part of the Republican Party agreeing with the Democrats and the Media including the Party Chair, the Speaker of the House and the premiere publications on the Right (National Review, Weekly Standard, WSJ Editorial Page) denouncing him as a menace to the Republic unprecedented in our history. Many Republican "Thought Leaders" outright endorsed Mrs. Clinton. And even with the October Surprise of the Access Hollywood tape he still won. Since then he has gone on winning. And you either still think he is stupid or think you can convince one of his supporters of it.
Greedy. He pledged his Life, his Fortune and his Sacred Honor on his mission to Make America Great Again. The net worth of Obama, Bill Clinton and most of their minions increased enormously while in government service. Somehow. Meanwhile most estimates are that the Trump Organization has suffered from the retaliation from the Left upon the President's business and his net worth has actually declined. And if he fails in his mission to drain the swamp it is very likely it will imprison Mr. Trump and probably his children and utterly ruin his business empire. Assuming he doesn't suffer the fate of the last POTUS to tangle with the CIA, President Kennedy. Anyway, interesting definition of greed you have there. Isn't exactly projection since YOU aren't the one who fed at the trough for decades, you just blindly support her and project HER corruption onto Mr. Trump.
Bigoted. I suppose if we are using the modern definition of anyone who disagrees with a Democrat I have to award this one to ya. But he is a most curious bigot in that until he ran for public office every civil rights organization in NYC seemed to prefer handing him awards for his service to their causes.
Traitor. Come again? You can't be pissed off at his America First policies, MAGA slogan and lack of concern for how the feelings of the rest of the world AND think he is a traitor. Isn't your real complaint that he isn't displaying the proper loyalty to (((globalist))) ideals and policies? Isn't your actual problem that he IS a "traitor" to the U.N. but more loyal to the United States of America and Americans than any President since Ronald Reagan? Nobody actually believes that Russia! Russia! Russia! garbage. Please don't tell us YOU fell for it, it was just a reason to get a special inquisitor installed to harass and obstruct for eight years. Most important of all to prevent revealing the corruption and treason within the Intelligence Community, Justice Department and FBI.
So every word of that was either bullshit, utterly wrong or a knowing falsehood. And you guys still expect to see a Blue Wave in November because you are smarter and more moral than us mouth breathing retards on the Trump Train. Good luck with that.

I like how you see someone attack Trump and then just instantly assume that they're a hardcore democrat. I despite Trump, Republicans, and Democrats. I'm not a partisan retard like you are, so stop assuming everyone else is as partisan as you.
