flooded with privacy notifications in your email

Failure to comply with GDPR comes with the risk of heavy fines — up to 4 percent of a company's annual global revenue, or €20 million (about $23 million), whichever is higher. In the case of Facebook, which pulled in $40.7 billion in revenue last year, a violation could mean an eye-popping $1.6 billion penalty. In fact, Facebook has already been hit with lawsuits alleging violations of GDPR on the policy's very first day; in response, the company has said it's been working to comply with GDPR for the past 18 months.

I'm in Europe. Why can't I access some U.S. sites?

A number of U.S.-based news sites — the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun and a raft of others — have basically gone offline as far as European readers are concerned. When you try to visit any of these sites from a European location, you get this (I tested it with a VPN)

Europe has had this in the works for 10 years, and it just now went into effect.

There is a grace period now, but in the future companies that don't comply could be fined by up to 4% of their revenue. Not profits, revenue.

Didn't most communique have options for opting out of marketing type emails?
