The Story in Brief
A photo feature covering Hindu devotees honouring goddesses in India and Britain was published by multiple US news outlets, including union-bulletin.com, dnronline.com, and The News-Item. However, readers in the European Economic Area (EEA), including the UK, cannot access the images or text. Each site displays a notice citing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and blocks access entirely. The outlets have provided contact emails for those affected. The content itself remains unavailable from the linked sources.
The story, titled 'Hindu devotees honor goddesses in India and Britain, in photos', appeared on Google News but its full content is hidden behind the legal barrier. No further details about the locations, rituals, or photographers have been reported elsewhere.
The Indian Opinion
GDPR, made to protect European privacy, now blocks Indians in Britain from seeing US news photos of Durga Puja. The three outlets carrying the feature all serve EEA readers a legal notice instead of the images. For the diaspora, this feels like a firewall against their own culture. Will news publishers find a way to geoblock only ad tracking, not content?
