There wouldn't be any supposedly unbounded liability if they disabled the ads for that region they aren't really targetting anyway.

Also: GDPR hygiene works in the US as well. You've got some way to catch up though; you even allow a lot of really bad food substances that are banned in the EU (and most of the civilized world), just because... profits. It's all kind of a sad states of affairs for a supposedly first world country.

I kinda feel like organizing a program blocking journalists at these american newspapers that are blocking europeans.. from accessing european newspapers/sites. Just because. I'm sure there's a way of figuring out the public IPs for their NATs etc.
Or just use google ads for those regions.

Which probably pays the most anyway because I doubt the Chicago Tribune has a big EU direct marketing department.
