A number of high-profile US news websites are temporarily unavailable in Europe after new European Union rules on data protection came into effect.

The Chicago Tribune and LA Times were among those posting messages saying they were currently unavailable in most European countries.....

At least you got booklets! We have to do everything like this on a 6 year old Galaxy tablet and it is literally the slowest and most useless piece of tech I've ever seen.

*click "next page" *
*5 minutes later...*
*page 2 of 20*

Then the damn test...

*10 minutes to load the page*
*20 randomised questions*
*wait another 10 minutes for the results page*
"You scored 95%. This test requires 100% to pass. We're not telling you which answer was incorrect. Please try again."
