This is so stupid, they are still infracting on European Citizens that just happen to not be in Europe. For example I can get to the page but I am in Switzerland which is not part of the EU yet smack in the middle of Europe.

The GDPR's scope is EU (or EEA, I can't recall) residents in EU territories, it has no provisions at all for EU citizens who reside outside the territory.

I'm in San Marino, I can read the page, and San Marino is not EU but it is in the scope of the GDPR law.

How do you propose they determine that you’re a part of the EU if not by IP address and if they can’t track members of the EU?

The point is that they're i) blocking people who aren't covered by GDPR. ii) not actually exempting themselves from GDPR because they still have all the data from EU residents from before the blocking.

Blocking EU residents as a GDPR protection is dumb.
