A handful of websites, including those of major news providers, went down in the EU, and they posted notes to readers about the new regulations. > Most notably, Tronc, the publishing company that owns the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, New York Daily News, and other newspapers, has shut down its entire roster of websites for European users. When a visitor navigates to one of those sites, they’re now met with a note explaining that “our website is currently unavailable in most European countries.”
