How embarrassing for the LA Times that they couldn’t get basic compliance in place in time to even let unregistered users read an article.

  Last time I checked, Los Angeles was in California, not the EU. Why should they have to care about EU regs?

    Because the GDPR affects anyone serving and collecting data of EU citizens...

    Because people in the EU read their articles and view their adverts, which is presumably how they make a lot of their cash. What are they doing with the data of an unregistered visitor that means they aren't GDPR-compliant?

The link is pointing to NYTimes. OP was saying the original Boing Boing article pointed to both and the link was changed to the Times article, per the HN preference for linking to the original reporting (sometimes to the detriment when other articles provide commentary or additional insight).

I accessed it just fine from Portugal just now. Maybe it's something else wrong?

  The Latimes article is blocked for EU; the NYT article works though without opt-out, and clicking "X" is same as "I Agree" (hello dark pattern).
