Re: Brexit
The stupid cretins in the corrupted EU are preventing me from reading a website in America.
Thanks to their GDPR law they introduced this year.

I thought it was because some newspapers hadn't put a technical solution in place, whilst lots of others had (I have had the same problem with the LA Times website).
I think GDPR is a good thing - people can't keep or use their data if they don't have a legitimate reason for doing so, and have to delete it if you ask them to.
GDPR is a great reminder to businesses that people lend their information and organisations have a responsibility to look after it. It’s not just about confidentiality, it’s about integrity, accuracy and availability – and it’s just plain good business practice.
If you’re managing customer information in a fit and proper way, then requests for that information – known as subject access requests – are nothing to fear.
If a company has done all the right work, finding and disclosing information for a subject access request will be easy to do.
There needs to be a culture change throughout whole businesses too. Data protection needs to be treated in the same manner as health and safety, and managers need to care about protecting their data as much as they care about protecting their employees.

Re: Brexit
John McDonnell rejecting Len McCluskey’s view and stating any vote should be between the May deal and Remain.
He also added he would vote to remain in that instance.
So we now have a prominent member of the Labour front bench, and ally of Jeremy Corbyn, stating indirectly he thinks we should remain unless Labour negotiate a better deal.
Another nudge closer.

Re: Brexit
The endgame approaches. Unsurprisingly we begin to discover what the various players’ objectives are.

There isn’t an indication that a Brexit Britain would remove GDPR requirements. I’d be more interested in why those publications haven’t aligned themselves to it.

Given the vast amount of EU law that will be written into U.K. law next year, it will take quite some time before we understand what is desirable to change, and what the priorities are. I wouldn’t put any significance by the lack of a firm plan to alter the GDPR regulations.
As for why the Chicago Tribune hasn’t complied ... why should it? It isn’t a European company and is entitled to decide it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

Re: Brexit
Oh of course they aren’t obliged to, but they’re obviously preferring to give up the extra revenue from clicks as opposed to comply. That makes me more suspicious of their use of user data than of the European Union to be honest.

If I choose to care what happens to my data via a few clicks, that is MY right to do so - I do not need a corrupted EU empire to decide for me!!!

But you can. The difference is precisely that it's your choice to do so.

Re: Brexit
A VPN would work. At a fraction of the overall cost to the economy of actually leaving the EU.

It's not hard for them to comply. I can't think what issues they would run into serving articles and if they didn't want to comply with how they hold personal data then simply forbid European Users from having an account.
The only issue I can think of is Facebook or other very personalised tracking cookies, which can be dealt with either by not serving those plugins outside the United States or by having the ol' 'This Website has Cookies please accept blah blah blah'.
My guess is they weren't sure what to do.

Easily avoided by using a VPN.

Foolish Liberal Democrat’s giving the game away for their own interests. For the people’s vote to work it has to be because “we have tried everything else”. As our favourite countdown clock regularly reminds us, there is plenty of time.

Agreed - if there is to be a second Referendum.
