Waiting on them to fulfil my GDPR data request.
One I've got all my data (since there was some useful stuff there over the years) I'll follow up with the "right to be forgotten" request as well.
Keep us updated how this goes. Are they even governed by EU law if they are in the US?
If they want to operate in the EU (for example, selling ad space to European companies to show to European users) then yes, they are.
There are some American news sites that don't serve to European users for that reason. Instead, we get a screan that explains that GDPR is too much for them to handle.
It can be circumvented with a VPN, but I haven't bothered so far
