rainman + 263 May 25, 2018 The websites of the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun and New York Daily News became unavailable to readers in most European countries on Friday morning, after the newspapers failed to comply with new data privacy rules. Online readers of the websites owned by American publishing company Tronc were surprised to find they had lost access to the sites in countries subject to the European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation. The complex new GDPR rules require companies to change how they use and store personal data, which includes obtaining explicit consent for each use of data and giving more rights to users to see, correct and remove their data.

Well after Snowden and his informations about NSA/PRISM project I really don't believe in any privacy in web. And even that was no suprise for me. Its only illusion of protecting our rights nothing more. Every more advanced secret services have no problem to establish anything about your internet activity if they really want. I would rather suggest using Tor or VPN but I think even this wont help a lot especially when specialists from goverment really want this information. Its only matter of time and effort.

Tom Kirkman + 8,860 May 26, 2018 Seems the "masters of the universe" are limited to being "masters of the U.S." The EU is calling out their shenanigans. BRB, popcorn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
