Interpol would like a word.

> Interpol would like a word.

Also not a "European law" by any measure or understanding, that's a international organization that does police cooperation across the continent (and further), it isn't even a law enforcement agency... Not exactly sure how you could confuse that with laws, but here we are.


> A US based non-profit news organization isn’t going to spend money to pay lawyers to ensure they meet a regulatory burden that doesn’t affect their core demographic.

I like being covered by gdpr. Though I really cannot see any country's gdpr peops taking anyone in the US to court. A very simple "Fuck you" (along the lines of The Pirate Bay) would end any legal conversations. It would be different if the news organisation had an office in the EU. Anyway, i have a vpn, so....


The UK is not part of the US (yet?) nor the EU, but they're currently fining US companies - it doesn't surprise me at all that many take the easy answer of "ban them by IP".

> The UK is not part of the US (yet?) nor the EU, but they're currently fining US companies

Are they going after money they have in the UK or are they delusional enough to think they can successfully fine a company with no ties to the UK?



> Because the US govt. is petty and vindictive at the moment.

And has been for many, many years.


How many did you have at your house?

> or Frenchman if you're old and inconsiderate.

Or talking about a man that is French. Neither of which would be considered 'old', or 'inconsiderate".


"Frenchman" (one word) is always... "old and inconsiderate" is a good description. "French man" (two words) is at times still appropriate.

No, Frenchman is fine. It's a neutral and common descriptor, and I've far more often heard it said by French people than about them. Similar to Spaniard.

Not everything needs to be perennially problematised.


Ah, "The Iranian Nuclear Bomb Deadline" ploy.

...and when it suits them.

Only when it suits them.
