Could somebody help me understand the criticism in this article of companies like Instapaper blocking EU users? When you face fines of up to 20M EUR, you’re not going to take on that liability if you have a choice. Most companies outside the EU will eventually block EU traffic. GDPR is just too big of a liability. It has nothing to do with “selling user data” or bad intentions with user privacy. I won’t take EU traffic for the same reason that I don’t drive at 140mph in a 25mph zone - it’s irresponsibly dangerous.
