EU just screwed the Internet

Article 11 and 13 specifically.







I vary rarely use European servers on VPN but I highly recommend for the time being Singapore if you have the option. At any rate this is yet another reason to detest the EU and its mindless purposeless self-serving crap.

I imagine Switzerland still works. Take a look at Protonmail.com, encrypted e-mail with VPN as an option.

I suggest you educate yourself on the legislation relating to holding personal information ref. GPDR (see attached link as a simple starter ) and think carefully about refusing to delete my account if that is in fact what you are doing.
And I replied:
We've gone through all of this before Caco. At least a couple of times. As the beneficial owner of the site I am resident in Australia. The domain names are registered in Australia, and the site is hosted in Australia. So you can stick the EU sh!te up your arse. None of it applies on Ops-Normal. Sad I know. :D

Yes...for the time being. But look at the last few minutes of the second link. It'll be pushed until it's global. Maybe not after tea time tonight or next week, but a practical method of restricting free speech through this precedent will attract every left wing moron everywhere.
