Can you provide examples of websites shutting down due to GDPR ?

  I only know about some US newspaper closing EU access and this guy's forum. I'm sure we'll get a separate thread for each site that's closing, to emphasize how the (advertising) world is ending, one just needs to wait.

    There's no advertising on the forum under discussion.

  Well, drone.io?

    I think it's just discourse.drone.io, the rest of the site will stay.

  This is at least the 5th instance I've seen of a website announcing their closure due to GDPR on Hacker News. Most websites probably wouldn't announce it and given that a post about simply blocking all EU users got upvoted to the front page less than a week ago I doubt the idea of blocking all EU users isn't more prevalent. https://www.polygon.com/2018/4/28/17295498/super-monday-night-combat-shutting-down-gdpr https://www.polygon.com/2018/4/28/17295498/super-monday-nigh... https://digiday.com/media/gdpr-mayhem-programmatic-ad-buying-plummets-europe/ https://digiday.com/media/gdpr-mayhem-programmatic-ad-buying... http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/25/media/gdpr-news-websites-la-times-tronc/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/25/media/gdpr-news-websites-la-... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/24/sites-block-eu-users-before-gdpr-takes-effect https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/24/sites-blo... Try doing some basic research before asking leading questions that you don't expect responses to.
