Why do you believe this?
From the text:
> This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to: [...] the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union [0]
There is no targeting required - it is enough that EU "citizens" consume a service.

- rgbrenner 8y agoSee recital 23: https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-23/ https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-23/ But recital 24 is an important caveat.. and the reason why you see EU blocks. But an EU citizen accessing or ordering from a foreign website does not automatically mean the GDPR applies.
