As someone implementing GDPR right now on a news website, its going to come down to this... We detect that traffic is coming from the EU so we treat you differently and ask for consent etc. If you are Non-EU its business as usual. There are weird edge cases: If you are in the EU and use a VPN to appear to be in Virginia then we will not know you are really in the EU and you will get the non-GDPR treatment. Again, technically we can only do so much.

Has there been a discussion if it wouldn't be easier/cheaper to apply the GDPR rules for everyone? I mean, if you keep the logs in the same place you will still need to scrub IP addresses from them and every other thing that comes with it, so wouldn't it be easier to treat everyone with the most strict privacy standard?
