Not saying you're wrong, but there is another possible reason. I often see this kind of thing on very local news websites in the USA.
I think it's possible that small-town newspapers simply doesn't believe their local news has any readership in the EU/EEA, but that there is some small chance they could be maliciously targeted for non-compliance with a faraway law.
- loeg 2y agoNot even small chance. Any mention of a person's name where that name might be the same as that of a European person and suddenly they're getting nonsense GPDR requests. It totally makes sense to wall off Europe.
- tsimionescu 2y agoAny proof of this being a problem for small American news sites?
- loeg 2y agoIf it wasn't a problem, they wouldn't be doing this.
- tsimionescu 2y agoThey would, if they know they're breaking GDPR rules about selling the personal data of visitors.
- loeg 2y agoSounds like a GDPR problem yes.
