Ok, in that case I misunderstood your point. I do not understand how "the politicians of the day of some regions (china, australia, european union etc) decided that the freely available internet does not really fit with their worldview. as such they created rules that in effect split their internet from others."
As I understand it, the rule (IP-based exclusion) was created by the website owner, not "the politicians of the day of some regions".
- sentientslug 3y agoThe rule is created by the website owner to avoid getting sued into oblivion by not following GDPR (written by politicians), which it shouldn't really have to, because this is a local news affiliate for a city in the United States. I wouldn't exactly call that "local censorship".
