Two imaginary thought from people at wgntv.com:
1. a quick legal risk assessment showed that an international lawsuit against us on US ground, since we don't operate in their country, lawsuit to apply their local laws on US juridiction, is a lawsuit whose the risk that we could loose is very real and we should take measures to block traffic.
2. Someone asked about legal implication of International traffic. No idea. Let's block everything non-US just to be sure, I'm not sure those people exist anyway.
- Scoundreller 3y agoSeems like there’s a startup opportunity to create a box these orgs can buy that splits off the non-US traffic and serves privacy-preserving content with only (localized) Google ads to increase your ad revenue (maybe) a few percent.
- kobalsky 3y agoI’m from southamerica and I can access the article. They must be explicitly blocking Europe
- tuyiown 3y agoYes, actually, after thoughts I suspect that wgntv.com is just using third party provider that operates in europe and asks wgntv.com to implement GDPR compliance or refuse traffic by contract.
