I like the spirit of GDPR, but blaming the entire world for not understanding your own country’s laws is the pinnacle of navel gazing.
- dangerface 5y agoYou like the spirit of GDPR but to get around the point of it would cost too much in layers so geoblock is the only solution you see? Commenting on geoblocking isn't exactly what I would call navel gazing there is literally nothing more for me to take away from this content :^)
