    Blocked in my region. Good lord. What's wrong with Chicago Tribune?

      I presume you’re in Europe? If I recall, the Chicago Tribune began blocking the region when the GDPR was implemented, presumably so they can invade users’ privacy at will without having to worry about repercussions.

        Or... They don't have enough traffic from europe to warrant putting up with their absurd regulations.

          Welcome to my online guide on how to comply with the GDPR. Here we’ll cover the basics, the steps you should follow that will help everything else fall into place on your journey to compliance.

          Step 1: Don’t invade users’ privacy.

          There is no step 2.

            People signing up for newsletters (which this site has) then immediately submitting a SAR was an unsolved issue until ECJ finally ruled against it last month [0]. I think you're missing a few steps there. It would be nice if we lived in a world where legal compliance automatically conferred legal immunity.

            Yeah, tell that in a court...

              I don’t recall any GDPR violation case which has gone to court. If you do, mind linking to it?

              I’d gladly make this same argument in court, though. But I’ll never have to, at least not as a defendant, because I respect users’ data (by not even collecting it), so there’s nothing to take me to court over.

              It looks to be a distinctly US American idea that everyone is always suing everyone for everything and always going to court. That’s not how the rest of the world operates for the most part.
