Article: Audiophile Style State of the Union

[Norton]

If this is simply notice that “objectivist” incursions into  threads which are clearly about subjective experience (e.g. “what’s the best sounding USB cable you have heard”) will be moved, that seems fair enough, as does moderating other off topic or antagonistic contributions.

 

But if this means that threads which have an objective thrust from the outset (e.g.”what’s the best measuring DAC”) can only be started  in the one subforum, or if objectivist responses to a neutral thread (e.g. “is there a difference between USB cables”) are also moved, that seems unfair to me.

I appreciate where you are coming from, but what’s good about this forum is the breadth of opinions and approaches.  I certainly think more critically about audio choices now because of objectivist contributions (at their best).

Given that the UK isn’t in the EU, I’m unsure how his threatened ban would work

GDPR would most likely still apply in the current transition period and even afterwards unless specifically repealed as (I think) it has been adopted as UK law.

Also I think it applies to the citizens of an EU member state regardless of where they live.

 

Having said this, Mans’s posts are probably not the top priority for EU lawyers at the moment, so you’re most likely  safe from any unplanned trips to The Hague.
