> ... the mere accessibility of the ... website in the Union ... is insufficient to ascertain such intention > Local EU websites are covered by virtue of being EU websites, not because they're accessible in the EU. None of this talks about nature of the content. None of this talks about how few EU users you have. It clearly talks about providing goods or services to EU citizens with some degree of intent[0]. If providing news to people isn't providing a service then any news site should be exempt regardless of content and userbase. The "mere accessibility" part says it wouldn't be enough to prove your intention to provide goods or services to EU citizens. If you're a local bakery that only sells locally it's pretty clearly you're safe. The information on your website is not the service you're providing. And it would be very hard to argue you're somehow benefiting from or expecting EU visitors.
