That's even more weird since they are explicitly not covered by GDPR, because their target audience is obviously not based in the EU (and they most probably don't do any business in the EU either, so are completely out of reach as well).
It seems to me like they are the very websites for which this exemption was intended.

That doesn't help much when every US arm-chair lawyer (like the techies here on HN) spends all their time causing paranoia and telling everyone how even access logs are illegal now under GDPR, and how they will be brought into bankruptcy by the EU. Ofcourse the business-people are going to panic when all they hear are their techies are telling them that EU is going to shut them down. Whatever crappy legal regime these US techies will be stuck with in the future, one thing is certain: they brought it onto themselves.
