domains Are European domainers going to start getting shunned?

[equity78]

As we get closer to GDPR being official more and more reactions and questions come in. I noticed today that Theo at DomainGang.com is going to block Europe from accessing his blog. Someone told me I should do that two weeks ago. I had a couple readers express their desire to ban Europeans from making offers on or buying their domain names. One reader came from a place of worry and the other a place … [Read more...]

You fell for a fictional article.

That post contradicts itself. It has 100% True in the article and in your link to the article, then you said it was Fictional.

Oh, you were talking about something else, my bad. Read that wrong.

But we should go ahead and invade Europe.

Thanks I updated post, I was actually more interested in the real one about blocking Europe.

I don't know man, but that seems like a decision made out of rage by putting all people
in the same bucket and blame them all without thinking objectively.

Not european domain investors initiated this GDPR act, but some fancy suits in the EU
with an ego complex and frustrations felt the need to make a name of their self and mess up
with this industry.

We, european domainers are upset about this b.s. decision as much as anyone else
and it affects us all.

Are we gonna go back 100 or even 200 years?
✌

Are we gonna go back 100 or even 200 years?

No, it's enough to go back only 20 years and to never create this EU and especially those euro-bureaucrats who were never elected by anybody but who nevertheless dictate all Europe which shape of cucumbers we should grow and eat. Ah, and now they found a way to dictate to the entire world. Congrats.

So ( i am from UE) if i have a domain (Love.com ) & a person/company from other parts of the world (other then Europe) special North America will not buy the domain?!...give me a brake just sold a .us domain
GDPRSTUPRS it's a fuzzzzz + mention that SEDO.com have HQ in Cologne so i doub't will go out in clients

 

[NameOmnia]

I am not sure why one should or would want to buy visitors from Europe.

Cookie policy has been in place for years and for the privacy issue I think it is respectful of people's right to know what businesses are doing with sensible data.

The idea of placing a "no Europeans" disclaimer for NP auctions seems ridiculous..discriminatory to say the least and all this because people do not want to take privacy seriously and comply?

I disagree

I believe they will all be put on an a frozen island, never to be heard of again as the rest of us live happily ever after (in the sun)

I wouldn't blame the rest of the world blocking EU traffic from their websites. In fact it might help reverse all this GDPR nonsense. However spare a thought for us poor souls in the UK. We voted to get out of the EU and we're still adopting their pathetic rules. Nominet, this week, removed registrant's details from whois - so now makes it harder to see if a website is genuine - a scammers dream. Problem is UKIP is now weaker following Brexit (as people think UKIP achieved their purpose) and there is no effective opposition to EU rules being adopted. So in some ways we're in a worse position now than when the Conservative and Labour Party had UKIP winning more and more of their voters.

Funny thing is we have all the experts telling us brexit will make the UK poorer and yet we have EU legislation like GDPR strangling small businesses and harming international relations.

Couldn't care less about DomainGang being blocked for Europeans. It take few hours to update privacy & policy on website. Australia's Privacy Act in place since 1988. Free whois privacy, we are the winners after all

 

[Armageddon]

DomainGang ...we have proxy so if i want to read something write by Acroplex i will read , but nothing to read there

 

[kriss05]

So Domain Gang imposed sanctions on EU domainers lol. What a funny world we are living in now.

 

[Armageddon]

Far as i see still show in different whois websites when i check my domains show the owner ( also check other domains am not the owner ) so again GDPR a fuzz or maybe like kriss05 say : "What a funny world we are living in now." or maybe start from tomorrow will not show ...who knows LOL

Before becoming a horse breeder I was a salesman and one of the most valuable lessons I learned was; when doing business stay away from politics and religion.

The EU has regulated their media since the dawn of television.

They have so much more regulation that the U.S. when it comes to advertising etc...

YouTube had to implement disclosure of sponsorship because people in the EU couldn't tell the difference between a paid endorsement or someone just saying they love the product. In the U.S. we just assume everyone is paid to say they like things and we're good by it bros.

More to the point. It's a shame that they have to trample on the rest of our rights, so why shouldn't we block them from the rest of the internet? They want privacy, then isolate them!
