    No, it’s sites gatekeeping their dodgy tracking cookie policies.

    US companies don’t want to comply with data protection rules of other territories, so they block our access, just so they can continue their exploitative tracking

      Eh, often updated privacy laws (a good thing) can lead to an aweful lot of work (and confusion) for developers.
      A local news company probably doesnt want to deal with privacy laws that do not effect their target audience (despite those privacy laws being a good thing).
      The other option is to be a part of a global news conglomerate that ensures everything is in compliance, but that often leads to some sort of adjenda of what can & cant be published.
      Or you pay a platform to host your articles. Which is awesome for anyone that doesnt have devs on staff (or retainer). But you are beholden to that platforms desires
