Why do HN keep supporting the LA Times which is UNREADABLE in the EU, with that stupid GDPR wall?

Is the article not available anywhere else? Can we at least have the "Outline it" link instead of the "web" one?

Blame your politicians, not the website. Expecting the whole world to bow to the whims of your government is frankly laughable.

Nobody's blaming the website, it can live without EU readers and we can live without it. @mdrzn is merely spreading awareness that this is GDPR-walled, while at the same time expressing discontent that some people still don't know/care about it. Is that unreasonable? I don't know. I guess it'll be decided by how often requests like that appear below GDPR-unfriendly links, and how highly-upvoted they get.
