It amazes me that two and half years after the introduction of GDPR, sites like this still block EU residents.

- Nasrudith 6y agoIncentives matter - if there is no profit from it and they are outside their domain anyway why would they waste any time on the IT project alone? Let alone the business model changes causing at least short term negative profits (even if better behavior could help user base growth). Apparently empathy of all things is useful to soldiers ironically because being able to understand how others would react to movements and attacks gives a big edge in predicting them. You don't have to sympathize with the targets but it can help prevent being caught off guard by incorrect assumptions. In law knowing how the subjects would react helps predict and mitigate perverse incentives and loopholes or lure them into doing what you really wanted in the first place.
- marcosdumay 6y agoI don't think the goal was ever to avoid sites blocking the EU. The bill was clearly aimed at not contributing to bad practices with the EU GDP, what it isn't. Besides, the news can be found elsewhere (all news can nowadays), and the GP isn't much worse (I dunno, maybe even better off?) because of that blocking. At the same time we are here indirectly discussing tracking, and this is not the only thread about it.
