NewGeneration2019 User ID: 76954032 United Kingdom 09/20/2018 11:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | US media websites down in Europe after a huge data law shakeup. Quoting: Mkitrik 451: Unavailable due to legal reasons The EU's GDPR means that firms must obtain explicit consent from customers in order to use their data. It threatens to fine firms up to 4 percent of global annual turnover or 20 million euros ($23.4 million) — whichever is bigger — for violations. I think it is to protect users from sites collecting information on its users and selling it and so forth. So its a good thing, i sugest you guys use a vpn or proxy to get around the country ban. This isn't a new thing. Many US media websites have been banned in Europe since the day of GDPR's implementation several months ago. |
