So what is this Euro regulation shit that's everywhere now?
A bunch of sites ban European IPs completely "because of the new complicated regulations"
Are web devs fucked now? Is this a conspiracy to get lawyers more work? What the fuck is going on?

Look up GDPR and read you fuckwit. It's not hard to fucking understand what it's all about.
Xavier Nelson
GDPR. Purpose is to give people more control over their personal data. Web devs aren't fucked now. What is going on is that EU is the first to make this law but you can bet that others will follow in time.
Caleb Lopez
I wonder what that hobo was looking on his pc.
Does he even have internet or he was playing oregon trail?
Jaxson Bennett
Literally the only good thing about the EU
Chase Hughes
Not so fast. They also slipped in some bullshit where hosts are now responsible for copyrighted content
Caleb Walker
American trash sites block EU IPs instead of prompting a simple questionnaire about what you want your data used for.
Pathetic.
Matthew Baker
>A bunch of sites ban European IPs completely "because of the new complicated regulations"
Well they don't want to come out and say that their whole business model is based on violating your privacy and selling the resultant data to anyone who'll pay. It's only places that are doing that that have significant problems with GDPR.
James Kelly
Obviously dumpster diving while sniffing packets
Do you even recon bro?
Landon Collins
He's coding the GNU+Linux kernal dumbass
Owen Ortiz
i.e. USA last in protecting its citizens as usual.
Jordan Fisher
Not GDPR, it's the planned copyright stuff that has that
Removal of roaming charges too
Aaron Rogers
Is Jow Forums adhering to the new regulations BTW?
Benjamin Mitchell
>Removal of roaming charges too
True
Adrian Moore
Hopefully not, just blocking all EU countries from accessing would be easier.
Noah Evans
No, Hiro is a wanted criminal in over a dozen countries he doesn't give a shit.
John Young
They don't need government protections. The free market will naturally take care of the people.
Wyatt Adams
>Is this a conspiracy to get lawyers more work?
if it's written by lawyers, it benefits lawyers
Gavin Jackson
it's something designed exclusively to annoy and confuse you, user, and you alone. the entire EU is laughing at your putrid tiny brain's feeble attempts to understand the vast, vast engine that is whirring and generating in a way you will never be able to understand. we laugh at you and all you can do is screech and post pepe images on a garbage website ran by an idiot that was last relevant over a decade ago. you goddamn moron. you turd-huffer. you absolute buffoon. words fail to describe the contempt with which you are viewed by your fellow man. you exist only as absolute irrefutable proof of a absence of a loving god or comparable higher power in the cosmos
Adam Hernandez
Probably.

It's literally just "don't be botnet."
Nolan Carter
because ISPs have done such a good job so far
Benjamin Rogers
It's garbage, the only "advantage" users gain is more trained fingers because websites add another popup you have to click away to access the content.
Fb, Google, etc will still fuck everyone's asses l, like they always did
Daniel Kelly
>is the anonymous website adhering to the regulations when anonymous data isn't considered personal
Isaiah Gonzalez
this is the first step towards dismantling net neutrality. we're already seeing how badly it will effect people, but still no one gives enough of a fuck to do anything to stop it.
this is what your apathy gets you, you deserve this.
Parker Hughes

you're literally retarded if you actually believe this.
I encourage you to actually read the regulations of GDPR. Companies can face massive fines (talking billions $) if they don't enforce strict data protection for their clients/customers. They're also obligated within 1 month to provide a detailed explanation of what data they have on you, why they have it, and if you've consented to any third parties accessing your data, they must have that information accounted for as well. They're also forced to delete your data if it's no longer relevant to their business needs.
Yes, companies will abuse this. Just like companies constantly find loopholes to exploit regulations. however, the GDPR actually puts a massive legal benefit into our individual hands instead of allowing us to continually get ass raped by corporations with zero accountability.
This is why so many US companies have shit the bed and literally blocked EU addresses, because they will get owned by the EU if they continually use EU citizen's data in the way that they have been.
Literally do your research and you'll understand why GDPR is actually a really good thing. Unless you simply love having corporations profit off of you without any liability.
Xavier Harris
Yeah!
As long as it doesn't save data that can connect a person to the data.
And since it deletes everything all the time its not a problem!
William Baker
>Everyone ignores terms and services
>Everyone uplodes all their photos and interest
>No one cares about any type of anonymity
What? Companies uses my data?
They make money on it?!
I thought that facebook made money on other people... NOT ME!!
Time for the EU to step in!
Ryan Edwards
>he thinks social media is the only relevant context
When you become an adult, you'll start to realize how third data trafficking can impact your net-worth thru insurance costs and, depending on your socioeconomic status, acceptance into certain institutions and job placement.
But you're right, if you're a pleb in a trailer park, you really don't have much to worry about
Eli Robinson
The GDPR is not the issue here, its that article 13 bullshit being hidden behind it.
A law that responsabilizes the websites for copyrighted content, including links to copyrighted content.
Aaron Rodriguez
test
Justin Morales
>Yay! Thank god the government is coming in to protext me because I have no idea how to use my own brain and not upload personal information.
I love how people just willingly accept more and more government regulation. Than blame Americans
>Oh, look Americans! Don't you want your government regulating the internet as well!
It is very easy to protect my information. Anyone who doesn't take their time to understand something shouldn't be using it.
Julian Rodriguez
GDPR doesn't protect you, dipshit. It's for EU citizens only. Don't worry the US is still fucking you without consequence.
Cooper Adams
>fucking you without consequence
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
are you retarded. I was making fun how HOW europoors think Americans should want it as well.
Jeesh. With your level of intelligence no wonder the European government has to step in.
Landon James
>be a citizen of a continent notorious for its government oppressing and murdering tens of millions of people

yuros are bred stupid, nothing else explains it.

Justin Stewart
That's a seperate thing, it's not related to GDPR
Jacob Torres

Google and Facebook trackers alone make up the crushing majority of online tracking, as more and more people use their service, mroe data they collect, and more powerful they become, see links and pic related

I want to call you a shill, but I don't think anyone would hire someone as fucking stupid as you to shill for them.
Easton Moore
you KNOW what he meant faggot
Mason Phillips
This comes as no surprise. Europeons love being nannied by their government. They let refugees have sex with their daughters and wives as "reparations for their bigotry" and a sign of good will. Honestly they shouldn't even be considered people.
Jack Kelly

This add-on has existed since 2014.

>we shouldn't have laws that protect people's rights because they don't mean anything in practice
Somewhat true in some cases, but nah, that's just way too edgy.
Thomas Garcia
Not that user, but the other user may not necessarily know what he meant; that's why proper spelling is very important to successful communication between people.
