On 25 May 2018, the European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came in to force, resulting in organisations (mainly US-based newspapers) blocking people living in the European Union from accessing their websites as they are not compliant with the new regulations. This dataset lists websites that are or were unavailable, along with links to archived versions of the websites and archived block messages. This dataset has been featured in a number of news articles including NiemanLab, TechRadar and publico.pt



The Los Angeles Times' website is reportedly available in Bulgaria as of 08/08/2018. The website remains unavailable in other European countries.



Unavailable websites: 1,129
