I've been able to get to the New York Times and the Washington Post, but not the New Haven Register.  Can I assume that the NYT and WaPo, because of their various foreign offices and connections understand the new requirements and have done the needful, whereas smaller papers cannot afford the investment and will now be unavailable in ROTW?  Ann Okerson

So I clicked on a Facebook story reporting the scoop that Melania Trump has gone to hide out living with the Obamas.  I think it's important to stay on top of the news.  The link led me to the Chicago Tribune and ... well I'm in Europe at the moment, land of renewed emphasis on data privacy, where I got a white screen with the Tribune logo at the top and a helpful "Copyright 2018 by the Chicago Tribune" at the bottom (good to be reminded of my legal obligations, but between this surprising text:

Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism.

​A different American newspaper had popped up with an "unavailable in your region for legal reasons" and the Redbox video rental chain produces "Access denied".  How to tell this story?  America cuts itself off further from the world?  European bureaucrats hammer free enterprise?
