Instapaper has temporarily shut down its service in Europe, having failed to get itself ready for the EU's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules that come into force tomorrow.

Instapaper, owned by Pinterest, is a read-it-later service that lets users 'clip' articles and pages. The shutdown will be particularly annoying for anyone who's clipped a bunch of articles, with the intention of reading them over the weekend, but Instapaper says it can "generate an export of your saves" if you email support@help.instapaper.com.
