NGL, not asking for a friend. Given the current trends in US politics, it seems prudent to at least look into it.
Most of the online content on the topic seems to be by immigration attorneys hustling ultra rich people. I’m not ultra rich. I have a job in tech, could work remotely, also have enough assets to not desperately need money if the cost of living were low enough.
I am a native English speaker, fluent enough in Spanish to survive in a Spanish speaking country. I am old, male, cis, hetero, basically asexual at this point. I am outgoing, comfortable among strangers.
What’s good and bad about where you live? Would it be OK for a outsider, newcomer?
I’m really curious about what you think you’re not being allowed to visit on the internet.
I can’t think of a single thing that’s ‘blocked’.
Unless you’re under 13, of course, in which case I concede there are a lot of restrictions - but that’s a good thing.
more.like some youtube videos or some sites that didn’t comply with GPDR. It’s been a while since I had a problem like this but to be fair I was just giving an example of regulations that exist to protect us, that we support, but that goes against the “american way”
GPDR does not have any site blocking provisions, just fines.
A lot of small US websites (typically regional media) choose to not show pages to EU IPs but they are not blocked.
Ah, ok - that’s fair.
I thought you were implying that we had some kind of firewall like China or something!
I agree, US sites geolocking their content is sometimes a pain, but I get your meaning. We do tend to be more comfortable with our governments trying to protect us than the Americans seem to.
that was exactly what I meant! I may not have expressed correctly. Thanks! :)
