So.... my MEP calls the LA Times to forward my complaint? If I would want to complain, why should I not tell them directly? If you want to claim it's an issue of that much discussed EU law, plenty (or even most) of US websites don't have an issue serving their content to me, from NY Times, Washington Post - even Fox News has no problems (I would suspect them to be the first ones to complain about the EU)! To me that shows it's not a problem with EU law, but one with relevant people in power at the LA Times. I don't see how a message to an MEP could solve that, unless you think the EU should give in every time somebody in the US has a complaint - valid or not.

The LA Times has decided that the cost of compliance with GDPR is not worth the effort since they don't get any ad dollars from Europeans. That's because the GDPR is such a quagmire that it requires expensive consultants to audit compliance, and since it is untested in courts, they're not even sure they are in compliance when they are done. A lot of local US papers have made the same choice, the LA times just happens to be one of the biggest. Let your MEP know that the next time they want to write an extra-territorial law about technology, they should get some technologists to help them write it so that it actually makes sense.

  I refer back to what I wrote. I wish you would have read my comment instead of being in "auto-reply" mode, because it sure looks like you completely ignore 100% of what I wrote. Seems to me like you just wanted to say your prepared talking points that you picked up elsewhere.
