Will the EU be policing websites and comments sections now looking for ‘hate speech’ like FB does? (Ie- looking to censor conservative voices)

“How GDPR Will Transform Digital Marketing”
Just from microsoft outlook e- mail
Yes, I’ve been getting them also.
What happened here is that GDPR fell into place (200-page EU regulation). Everytime that anyone (in China, the US, Mexico, Finland, etc) prints a story or article....when anyone from the EU hits the story....they (the reader from an EU country) will either hit a site which may or may not be complying (maybe by accident even), or they are hitting a warning message by the EU that they can’t read the site because of a lack of compliance.
I would regard this as a test phase where the EU proves that they can force newspapers, social media sites, or whatever....that they have to comply with the EU standards. Once proven successful...you will see yearly attempts to control the brand or message.
If you were wondering why so many Brits were pro-BREXIT....well...this is one of the reasons.
Nice place to visit. But not to comply with.
As a courtesy, US sites should stress that their EULAs are US-specific, and acceptance of same consents to US law, not Eurotwit law.
1. Because many of their sites/routes are not located in the USA
2. You might access their sites when abroad...
One thing is certain, these rules are not about protecting anyone’s privacy.
I got this warning from an online jigsaw puzzle site that I go to...a jigsaw puzzle...states it has to comply with the EU...
“”...why they are updating their policies to comply with the EU privacy laws?””
I guess there is a reason for it to be called the
World Wide web
GDPR - Do a web search. I’ve only looked at it briefly. However, several “news” sources such as the LA Times, IIRC, have blocked the EU from their websites.
Entities such as Google, Facebook etc. already face lawsuits over privacy violations. Hence it appears that some changes will be made before the sites will be open to EU.
At least that was the impression I got from a very limited review of an article about it.
Websites I frequent are shut down because of it. Specialized DNA websites. It really is disturbing. It reminds me of how California controls things outside its borders.

Yep from sites I never go.
BTW new scam MEDICARE SURVEY phone call, said they sent you 1, haven’t heard from you, do you want to do it over the phone, answer NO, CLICK! SCAM. Seen a few Email 1’s I’ve sent to Spam.
