The Wilk is not the be all of research, but what I fimd useful with it is the Notes & External Links sections. Sadly since the EU's GDPR policy getting this on some of the obscure notes/links. 451: Unavailable for legal reasons After watching the film "The Fighting Sullivans", thought I'd research them a bit more. The note section of the "Sullivan Brothers" on Wiki gave a link to the above newspaper. It was an article about Al Sullivan's widow, Katherine looking back. Also on Googling the family came across a link by Al Sullivan's grandaughter Kelly Sullivan Lougren giving a speech about the Fighting Sullivans at the Clinton School of Science. Unfortunately, the video did not play & have put that down to geoblocking even though received no notification of that. Got the same result using TOR. Did use a VPN in the past but the free version of Cyberghost used European servers if I recall. Just wonder how researchers will deal with this problem. Is any American user experiencing any access issues with European websites? Any thoughts on VPN's that do not use European servers? |

The restrictions are necessary or they would not have been enacted. The issue is the technical aspects of serving web pages in an HTML V environment essentially require violating the privacy regulations the EU has adopted, especially the part about the right to be forgotten. I believe BOINC had to recently modify its server code to allow a user account to be deleted. I'm not quite sure how that affects work units that you processed and are tagged with your user number which is unique identification. American's are seeing a forest of new user agreements they must sign to continue using places. Many of them have take the opportunity to also shove in many horrible changes making the user liable for things they should not be liable for as many of the ISP data protection regulations are chipped away. It is hard to say if I've run into anything that isn't just a geoblock recently. I run into more issues as I run an ad blocker. I do not want my display covered in flashing crap or have advertising servers shove virus laden infecting code and images on me. |
