What about a correct usage of people's data?
- natpalmer1776 5y agoI really don't think a local news website from Spokane Washington can be expected to place international laws as a high priority. Even if they already practiced correct usage of people's data (unlikely) having someone on-staff that understands those laws enough to communicate the requirements to whoever is developing & hosting their IT infrastructure just to get confirmation of compliance is enough of an economic deterrent to make the landing page you see seem like a more reasonable solution.
- guitarbill 5y agoAnd yet they understand the law enough to block EU access? As "a local news website from Spokane Washington", why even bother? I think some scepticism is valid here.
- kube-system 5y agoIt's a local news station in another country. There are undoubtably many local businesses in your country that will not do business with me because they don't comply with the legal requirements of doing business in my country. Not every company is financially able to have global legal compliance.
