@BritishTechGuru @frankrausch no, GDPR applies to all entities that process the data of European citizens - this was a meme back when GDPR was originally put into law and some US companies instead just blocked all IPs originating from the EU, or hardcoded to return "451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons"

Not just citizens - actually it applies to the processing of personal data of all data subjects within the EU even if the processing is done outside of the EU. Article 3 sets the territorial scope, with recitals clarifying. gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/

@ptrc @BritishTechGuru @frankrausch Yep pretty much any local news site in the US does this - lazy devs/management don't want to pay for it so better to just block the traffic than fix their shitty advertising.
