Love it when I click on an article and get a "this article isn't available in your region". I wonder what's holding them back from deleting the location check and just allowing people to view their mildy interesting article if they aren't from the US.

Unless it's for copyright reasons, having an article be unavailable in your region is pretty much a straight-up admission that they don't want to have to comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation and that they're selling every bit of the data they can gather about you to whoever the fuck they feel like.
