USA Today made a version of their site for EU visitors that's compliant with the GDPR

eu.usatoday.com

It seriously makes me want to check that site from time to time for news. If their point was "see how bad it would be if we didn't do all this stuff?" it's doing the opposite of what it wants because yes, I love this website, that's how I want it and every other one to be like

Siphonay @Siphonay

apparently you can't access it from the US, it redirects you to the normal website?

Here's how it looks like, CW for politics, pres45 and the usual violent stuff you see on news websites

@Siphonay i fucking wish i could get the "EU Experience" as USA Today puts it. gimmie that on every site also gimmie yr general protections and rights and like, health insurance. their "punishment" is just another perk.

USA Today's news coverage tends to be shit tho

@meena not sure. Not very good according to some people.

@Siphonay ah I thought I couldn't reach it because I was on mobile

@pea not only it's accessible on mobile, but it's also responsive and adapted for it. It also have the advantage of being very lightweight, that's very good for people with a limited data plan.

@Siphonay correct, i was unable to access it without an eu proxy.
