How much should a small local news organization in Louisville, KY be expected to pay to comply with laws on random other continents? I think they made the right choice here.

  It would cost less to just ignore the foreign law than to "comply" by blocking foreign users.

    In the short-term, sure. In the long-term, that might lead to your staff being arrested for contempt of court the next time they go on vacation to Europe.

  Are they harvesting my personal information? If so they should be dealing with it properly

  From glancing at their site, it doesn't look special at all. Google maps, Analytics, Facebook, and ads. You don't have to hire a legal team and make them work for a year to write a GDPR-compliant privacy information for that, you can get one from a wizard that will be fine and only set you back $20.

    GDPR is much more than just having a privacy policy.

      If your business case is running a website, it really isn't. Yeah, you need contracts with Google for Analytics etc, but that's done with a few clicks. If you're running an ad network, or an Analytics service etc, that's something very different. Do they do that?
