European readers still blocked from some US news sites

Major American news sites, including the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News, remain unavailable to readers in the EU, a month after new data protection rules were implemented.

The websites went dark in Europe after the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law came into force on 25 May.

GDPR gives EU citizens more rights over how their information is used.

A statement on the blocked websites says the publishers are “committed to looking at options” to allow EU access.

News sites within the Tronc and Lee Enterprises media publishing groups are among those preventing EU-based users from reading their content.
