GDPR has served as very well so far by limiting our choices. Thanks EU!
Same error from Montenegro, which is not in the EU.
Does this work? https://pastebin.com/7pLaScEv
Yes, it does. Thank you.
Well, seems to me like a case of having your cake and eating it too. Which would you rather have: greater choice or greater privacy?
EU chose the latter at the expense of the former.
Number 3, please. A world in which there's other ways to give back then selling out your privacy, thereby having great choice and privacy simultaneously. I know, I'm naive.
You’re right. But: No one asked me to make a trade-off decision. Now I can’t chose anymore. Also: what has really changed with GDPR?

Regulatory Capture goes both ways.

Hey, it's the website that decided to block you. GDPR just tells them to play nice, they decided they'd rather not play at all.
Of course, but my logic is like this:
- Is GDPR crating a new hurdle for websites around the globe? YES
- Will every website follow GDPR? NO
- Is GDPR creating privacy value for the user? I am not sure
Thus, it’s a classical trade-off decision. So far I’m not seeing the benefits. The downside is very clearly demonstrated in the above example.
It's sad to say, but using a VPN Provider with a list of globally distributed exit points is critical to navigate the web from the inside EU these days.
What I do for this is get Google Translate to translate the article, then opt to view the original. The experience is usually better than it is for this article, but it's still readable.
Unfortunately that only captured a small part of the article. And archive.is is refusing the URL. Is there another option?

Since it's not a paywall, the good old Internet Archive works flawlessly.
Love the error code though :(
Same from Spain
