#GDPR went sort of viral and got half a million views. There’s a big split in reactions and replies based on whether the commenter is from Europe, or from outside of it:Show this thread -
Typical reactions from EU: * That’s not what the regulation was supposed to cause * Good riddance * Services like Unrollme are awful for privacy, I’m glad GDPR caused this * Don’t the stupid americans know there are hundreds of millions of more customers in EU than in the USA?

Typical reactions from EU: * This weeds out trashy websites * Wow how ignorant * Bye bye, data harvesters! * Enjoy your reduced revenues! * Our freedom is more important than their business
Show this thread -
Typical reactions from the USA: * This should teach those smug EU regulators a lesson * You can’t tell us what to do * These regulations were designed to hurt US tech companies * Blocking EU users serves the EU right * Just ban the whole continent

Typical reactions from the USA: * Lol, smart * This law is trash * Jokes on them: there are NO services in EU * Thanks to GDPR, EU will become a dark swampland of digital era * No need to block all EU visitors. Just all EU regulators

15ish years ago or so you needed a VPN and a fake Korean SSN to play the game - so at least older players will find their way around.
