- closeparen 9y agoThis probably means the end of Europeans commenting on web forums, then. Can't imagine Hacker News, open source mailing lists, or any random guy with a phpBB/VBulletin interest group forum is going to appoint a compliance officer and fork over millions of dollars for consulting and legal services to become compliant.
- Gaelan 9y agoMost random guys with vBulletins probably aren’t compliant with some internet law or another anyway. Quite simply, there is no reason for the EU to care.
