I have just tried to get to a website of a certain very well known US company from which I've bought music stuff in the past. On trying to navigate to their home page I get a splash message telling me that I can't go to their web site due to GDPR. Just what part of GDPR states that people in the UK mustn't access US websites escapes me. And what part of GDPR makes it unfeasibly risky for any properly run company to sell to a customers in a country which is in the EU?
I can only assume that they just take the view that they don't want to consider 'them thar foreign laws' and would rather take the isolationist position popular in the past. That worked out well for the US musical instrument industry, didn't it?
The splash page says that they will look forward to serving me again soon. I don't think so.
