It's not just the geowalling that is annoying, but the fact that they would rather not comply for everyone's good.

It's like they decided that not knowing what data they process and where it's going and what is being done with it is good for everyone.

Or maybe the majority of their advertising is local, so it makes sense to block non-local people if supporting them is an added expense and produces no additional revenue.
Then why only start geoblocking after gdpr came into effect?
"comply for everyone's good"

Nope. Some of us dont appreciate the EU thinking it can regulate what events one can remember.

It's annoying enough getting these dumb EU cookie popups.
