How does not selling your personal information to a third party block you from visiting a website?

GDPR is fine with the selling of information, as long as you have given consent in clear language and not buried in TOS.

I think he is referring to websites that are now blocking all EU users because of GDPR.

I'm surprised companies aren't just pulling the same move porn/alcohol websites use with age by asking the user if they are an EU citizen/in the EU and if they answer yes, send them to a static "we don't service the EU" page at which point everyone just lies so they can still access the page with the tracking.
