    The new #GDPR seems to have led to US websites posting lengthy screeds of marketing copy that you have to OK before you can read the content. I clicked a link to TechCrunch, and got four full paragraphs of obfuscation with an OK button.

    None of this is compliant with GDPR.

      They just don't get it - you can't do this anymore. You can't share our data with 100+ of your "trusted partners", you can't store information on us like a creepy ex, you can't carry on with business as usual with just an OK button.

      The second best thing would be for the US to come up with an equivalent to GDPR. The best thing would be for us all to stop using creepy USA websites and come up with our own solutions, like dumping Twitter for Mastodon.
