Clearly we're not important, otherwise you guys would follow the rules. Actually blocking the access is against the law.

Expecting a random local news station in the US to subject itself to European jurisdiction and follow European privacy laws is a bit of a stretch, IMO.

Shutting down complete access instead of holding back a few cookies is a bit of a stretch as well.

If you must fail, please fail-open then.

And if you decide to fail-close, don’t lie: We’re unimportant to you so you decided to fail-close, and you’re not “working” on anything. You think it’s ok and it can be left like this.

Ha! You attempting to access a computer service that you aren’t supposed to have access to is against the law.
