If they take the Chequers plan they're still tied to all EU regulations.

just from GDPR alone a lot of site are now blocked for me in the EU

for example... if I go to www.latimes.com I see https://i.imgur.com/JmnWDYm.png

same, and I'm *in* the EU

actually

hang on

yeah go to www.chicagotribune.com

VPN fixes it

LA Times not blocked for me

Holy shit

Not blocked

it's begun

We good

this site has been blocked for several months

they're blocked for me

since GDPR kicked in

I've got my stuff routed through NYC. Imma turn it off and check again, hang on

YEP

chicago tribune as seen by us EU peeps https://i.imgur.com/QMPxrVz.png

😛

Imagine if on top of all of this, Hillary had won.

VPN on

literally blocked news site... but almost like a reverse firewall... its the la times and chicago tribune blocking us

which is odd, considering they dont have to answer to EU courts

they do under GDPR

Well, they're trying not to get blocked because they're trying to find a compromise or workaround, or perhaps simply hoping the legislation gets amended or repealed. If they simply ignored GDPR then they could be blocked entirely and have no hope for future access. It's simply the Tribune trying to not burn bridges.

they technically don't, since EU has no jurisdiction on US property
unless the US government allows them to, but i doubt Trump would cuz it would cost the US money

and yes

the EU could block them on our side

they wouldnt be blocked, theyd be fined.. and anyone in their parent group working in the EU could be arrested

like actual jail time

its already in affect to some degree

You know, SpaceX's Starlink system could be a solution here.

Ive been trying to send new articles to Sargon and its all blocked

The ISP would be in orbit.

(if they dont operate under GDPR rules)

Well shit

This is, quite terrifying.

Sargon needs a fucking VPN

or you can screenshot the articles
