- oauea 5y agoI always think it's interesting when Americans try to hide their news from foreigners. So much for being proud of your country, I guess?
- eloff 5y agoProbably just has to do with not being worth the hassle to comply with European regulations. If you only have a little European traffic, it's easier/cheaper just to block the EU.
- adjkant 5y agoThis is almost 100% GDPR and laziness around their legal liability. You can find this issue of not being available in the EU for many sites entirely, regardless of if the news is about the US or not.
- robertlagrant 5y agoDon't be silly; this is not anyone hiding anything. If a website survives based on advertising and needs to now pay a service to keep them up to date with the latest EU regs, then they may just switch on GeoIP filtering and be done with it.
- oauea 5y agoAnd I'm sure it's just a happy coincidence that news about US military murdering civilians cant be accessed outside of the US :)
- jazzyjackson 5y agoIf its of any import, european outlets are welcome to write their own reports.
- robertlagrant 5y ago"In the EU" and "outside the US" are not synonyms.
