Yet another "technical compliance solutions’ set of bullshit. See very recent comments on’Man goes ape over $4 cake coupon’ article from the Sun Sentinel. Looks like it’s all part of the same group - given the identical ‘you cannot see it’ page.
And as I said then: I could suggest some “technical compliance solutions” that take 2 nanoseconds to implement, if they are interested… it’s just utter bollocks for anyone to be hiding behind this sort of shit at this point.
I was not surprised that that leader in world news, the Sun Sentinel, did not give two hoots about non-US eyeballs on its site. I’d have thought the advertisers in the LA Times might have had slightly more interest in more widely dstributed eyeballs, seeing as some are no doubt global brands - but that’s only an assumption as I cannot see it. Time to reset my VPN location, perhaps - if I cared enough about sending clicks and eyeballs to the LA Times.
Idly, one wonders if people like Mimi Pond realise their work is in effect being prevented from being seen by some 500 million people in Europe, merely because the publisher cannot consider either just not tracking readers in Europe or doing what the rest seem to have done, which is simply asking us to agree that they can - which is hardly a ‘technical compliance solution’ that needs much identifying. Maybe they’ll identify it soon - much like many of their competitors already have.
