So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want?

Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal?

RE: "Why are you even reading that shitrag?" -- I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn't realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

This appears to be a US specific website, where they could get away with the geoblocking technique to bypass gdpr

It's The Sun. A British newspaper.

It for sure is The Sun, but if you look closely at the logo, you will see it actually says "The U.S. Sun". So it's an American offshoot of the British newspaper and the domain OP was accessing is likely hosted in the U.S.
