How about just disabling the third-party ads along with their invasive tracking until you've figured out a way to monetize the long tail of traffic from EU?
- ericb 7y agoWhy would anyone accept an unbounded liability for no benefit?
- groundlogic 7y agoThere wouldn't be any supposedly unbounded liability if they disabled the ads for that region they aren't really targetting anyway. Also: GDPR hygiene works in the US as well. You've got some way to catch up though; you even allow a lot of really bad food substances that are banned in the EU (and most of the civilized world), just because... profits. It's all kind of a sad states of affairs for a supposedly first world country.
- groundlogic 7y agoI kinda feel like organizing a program blocking journalists at these american newspapers that are blocking europeans.. from accessing european newspapers/sites. Just because. I'm sure there's a way of figuring out the public IPs for their NATs etc.
