"This content is not available in your country/region."
Seriously? In this day and age? On the internet?
I believe HN should have a policy of deleting links to content that isn't accessible worldwide. Either we play the Internet game, or a "bunch of walled gardens" game.
- thatguy0900 4y agoI assume you live in Europe? Honestly seems like a fair approach to gdpr laws. A local city news station in the US that doesn't care about European visitors can either just ignore gdpr entirely and piss off Europeans or block them from visiting and piss off Europeans.
- jwr 4y agoTo which "gpdr laws" do you refer, specifically? GDPR is about protecting personal information (specifically, giving people the right to access, correct and delete personal information), and I do not believe showing a web page would somehow cause the web site to come into possession of my personal information and thus fall under any of the GDPR regulations. In other words, this has nothing to do with GDPR. Also, after we've had this tangent discussion, I would submit that if a site is (deliberately) available only to a part of the Internet, it should not be HN material. Unless HN wants to be a "US-only" site.
