US websites block netizens in Europe: Why are they ghosting EU? It's not you, it's GDPR

Re: VPN Hub

I was amused today to read that pornhub is offering a free vpn. I am guessing that is to help bypass the stupid age restriction ideas floating in the little brains in gov but I expect it will help with the GDPR problem.

I am amused at people complaining at the companies for not complying with the little EU. Regardless of if people think GDPR good or bad it is an interference which both business and people have to be willing to accept for it to work. If those businesses dont want to comply with the EU and disable access for the EU (or revert the EU to the old days of text. Thats genius) the people can go off and find somewhere that does comply, or the people can bypass the EU regs (personally choosing to opt out by VPN).

The mistake some people seem to make is thinking these businesses have cut themselves off. It is the EU that is cutting its people off from services that dont meet the EU's standards.
