The “GPDR” is a typo—the author actually meant the GDPR (General Data
Protection Regulation) [2]. And it pains me to see something like this
happen. Here's someone from Europe who was interested in reading a story
about a person in a small US (United States) town [3] and yet, they couldn't
because the owners of the news website (which isn't owned locally, but
instead by a larger company in another state [4]) probably doesn't care about
European readers. The company does have a policy for California readers [5],
so I don't see why it can't be extended for the GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation). This is just so short sighted.
