Anyone else noticed the recent annoyance of US website either nagging you about it, or, and this has happened a number of times for me now, they just outright block people with EU IP addresses as they dont want to worry about any liability?
I'm not talking about the sort of mucky sites you half blind hairy handed posters frequent
, perfectly normal ones, newspaper websites etc..
Quite annoying.

Thats the EU for you.
Unnecessary legislation costing business time and money to implement and annoying consumers.
99% of people just click 'ok whatever' and carry on as before.
The EUs next one is to force AI on everything to stop copyright posts and charge a link tax for posting links to news sites etc.

Let this sink in
"they made legislation protecting the internet a few years ago, legislation that wasn't needed because the internet was good as it was, obviously the "terror" laws came into play, they were then able to sell the idea that the internet could be used to radicalise people online, then they remove the legislation that was never needed in the first place. So, will the internet go back to how it was before that legislation came in? it should do right? not on your life lol"
They bring in legislation and laws that simply aren't needed, and if they ever remove them it should go back to how it was in the first place, but "protection" is brought in so they can remove a few years down the line
There was nothing wrong with the internet, it was perfectly fine as it was, but up pops this "protection", give it a few years and then say you need to remove it. done up like kippers again.

Why wasn't these "protection laws" bought in when the internet first took off?
They were implemented under Obama, never needed to put them there in the first place, it means they can be removed and censor through the back door
In comes Trump and his mob and all of a sudden the internet is having the "protection" removed and new sterner laws put in place.
And Trump fans still think he's against "censorship", it was trump that was big on going after social media, he even said at a convention (during the 16 election campaign) they need to get onto bill Gates, because "the internet needs closing in", but his base moan about censorship and think their dad is going to save the day.
Sorry to disappoint them, but its their man who is bringing about that very censorship.

The OP is talking about GDPR. This is an EU regulation that the EU JURY pushed through before the MEPs knew what was going on.
Thankfully they caught them out on the next one on censorship in the guise of 'copyright' and there will be a debate by MEPs.
