Good day all. The other day I posted my \u201cfeelings\u201d<\/b><\/a> towards the new European Union\u2019s latest power and money grab, the General Data Protection Regulations. As you may have expected, my response was to tell them to drop dead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, it looks like I\u2019m not the only one telling those Eurotrash Scum in Brussels to take their GDPR and stuff it where the sun doesn\u2019t shine, sit on it and rotate. A number of American companies are also refusing to comply, The difference is, they are using Geo-Blocking<\/a> to keep anyone from Eurostan from viewing their web sites. Here are the details from <\/b>Bloomberg Quint<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

For some of America\u2019s biggest newspapers and online services, it\u2019s easier to block half a billion people from accessing your product than comply with Europe\u2019s new General Data Protection Regulation<\/a>. <\/b>The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and The New York Daily News are just some telling visitors that, “Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With about 500 million people living in the European Union, that\u2019s a hard ban on one-and-a-half times the population of the U.S. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blanket blocking EU internet connections — which will include any U.S. citizens visiting Europe — isn\u2019t limited to newspapers. Popular read-it-later service Instapaper says on its website that it\u2019s “temporarily unavailable for residents in Europe as we continue to make changes in light of the General Data Protection Regulation.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suspect those changes are going to be: “We\u2019ve decided to delete all your data and close your accounts. Sorry, but you have no one to blame but yourselves. Enjoy your decent back into the Dark Ages<\/a> and serfdom.\u201d<\/em> Of course, the Eurotrash who are looking to profit from this think they can enforce the GDPR on American companies that have cut off Eurostan.<\/p>\n

\u201cDenying service to EU citizens does not absolve them of their responsibilities,” says Julian Saunders, chief executive officer of Port, a U.K. startup selling software that helps clients control who gets access to data and creates audit trails to monitor privacy. “They still hold data on EU citizens and therefore they are required to comply and respond to subject access requests like everyone else.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The simple answer to that is, WRONG! If American companies cut off Eurostan, then they are answerable only to American laws, which are very different then yours. No American judge will let your complaints go forward and they will refuse to acknowledge the decisions by what passes for a legal system in Eurostan.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers in Europe this week restated its inflexible stance on corporate data responsibility — part of the reason some services have decided shutting up shop for EU citizens, even temporarily, is the lesser of two evils. The other being potential fines of up to 4 percent of their global annual revenue. <\/b><\/p>\n

The GDPR was never about privacy. It was about control and looting the bank accounts of major corporations.<\/p>\n

While the immediate impact of GDPR is most readily visible on the homepages of international newspapers and other media outlets, it\u2019s unlikely to stop there, said Sofie Willmott, an analyst for GlobalData. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018Retailers must also be prepared to lose a sizable proportion of their customer database as subscribers ignore communications to opt in to receiving marketing messages or choose to take the opportunity to opt out in order to declutter their inbox,” she said. <\/b><\/p>\n

What is going to happen is a lot of internet based companies going out of business thanks to this load of crap. I think there\u2019s going to be some very significant blowback on Eurostan. They might just find themselves totally cut off from the rest of the world. I also suspect that a lot of companies currently based in Eurostan are going to pull out completely.<\/p>\n

One thing I\u2019m curious about is how this will be handled when Brexit is finally completed. Will the British parliament have to pass their own laws? What about Eastern Europe? They\u2019re already pretty angry with the Brussels Bureauweenies and their tendency to rule by decree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A number of them are already rethinking being part of the European Union. If businesses in their countries start failing because of this, the governments may decide it isn\u2019t worth being part of the European Union. If they pull out, President Trump will be ready to make some deals with them.<\/p>\n
