Lame US only link
I don’t live in the US, so it’s not US-only. Couldn’t tell you why your country can’t access it.
Probably as they want to track people without consent, and that’s not allowed where I live.
It's always small, local news sites that just block EU traffic because the GDPR is so vague and broad they don't want to spend the resources to ensure compliance.
Sites have violated GDPR by simply using the wrong fonts
Sure. This is probably why there’s no local news sites in EU. All the small ones had to close when GDPR came into action
Sarcasm, right?
Yes, sarcasm. There are plenty of smaller news sites, but (at least in Sweden) many are struggling due to lack of paid subscribers or ad revenue, not due to explaining whether they have tracking or third party cookies.
Oh right, cause the coders and lawyers are free 🤦♂️
Turns out the most expensive part of a business and one of those pesky facts on your trip to profitability is to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars a years on supporting compliance. Who knew!!?!
Probably… Or perhaps there is no small sites in EU anymore as they’d get closed because of wrong font. Or maybe that part was made up and small networked news channels like to track what you read. It’s really hard to tell sometimes when there’s so many credible reasons for blocking just the countries that disallows tracking without consent.
Money. It cost money and takes time to follow gdpr, so obviously small sites outside of eu won’t do it. But I haven’t seen any site inside the eu that had to close because of gdpr, at least in my country.
I was just using fonts as an example that it is easy to accidentally violate the GDPR. Small sites outside the EU will just decide it's not worth the hassle. Most of the time, people in the EU won't have any interest in viewing local news content, so it doesn't matter anyway
More like "EU countries are a tiny audience of our specific site, we are not spending the resources on it. Just block EU ip addresses and move on"
Probably because they're in the EU and some American websites just cut us off entirely rather than deal with GDPR issues.
