Hacker News Reader

So we are willing to let you access our water control systems, but not our news, basically. :)

https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1358867424171425799 has a link to a Youtube video if you want to watch the press conference.

Probably because you're accessing the website from the EU and they don't want to bother with the GDPR.

Maybe the hacker deleted the article too :^)

That looks like an Akamai error

That's because Tegna is lazy and geoblocks EU visitors from their sites to avoid GDPR compliance.

Yeah a lot of US news sites block Europe (and UK), a VPN is handy.
