Dodged a bullet there. Thanks EU

I don't want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.

The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

Byjus is probably the second sussest company in India, so that checks out. They (sort of) sued banks that had lent them money for asking for it back.

We are too ~~lazy~~ greedy fucks to do something about it

Consent? That's just some woke word made up to damage family-owned businesses!

Them, probably.

Or they can't or won't spend the time to comply to regulations of a region they might not do business in anyway.

Because the US is controlled by corporations

Asia for the most part doesn't care

Australia is run by right wing nut jobs

New Zealand is quiet so they probably do do something like this but we haven't heard about it.

Japan is Japan. Civil rights isn't really a thing.

And China and Russia love invasion of privacy it's basically the entire basis of their countries.

Moatly about capitalism i think. If you put on privacy restrictions, you are regulating the market, while capitalism believes that the market should regulate itself, and customers will simply stop using those websites/softwares overtime if its too bad. I find this completely delusional in the era of mega corporations, but thats the capitalistic aproach to this.

Because they listen to people rather than ignore them and then make policy based on how much money they can make from the deal.

This shows me the EU is actually more democratic then the US is.

It's much harder to pay off the lawmakers to keep the status quo when the economic area is controlled by dozens of individual governments.

that's when you report as spam. that shit hurts their trust rating and makes their emails more likely to end up in people's spam folders, pretty much killing their newsletter

Proxy using an EU based server. Not like websites are going to actually check that you live there.

I read that as you being facetious, but: Yes this is exactly what I want. If a service can not comply with GDPR, the service should not be accessible. It would be great for their customers if the service decided to change their practices to become compliant, but that is a business decision they need to make.

Not "can't comply" but "doesn't want to comply". Other than that fully agreed, it is what I wanted.

Incapable is not the same as refuses to.

Byju, it is an educational group known for its exploitative practices in selling over priced study materials for primary and secondary education in India and also for competitive exams.
