It’s a bit more complex than that. Are they doing business at all in the EU (for a news site, do they have correspondents in the EU?) are they selling extras to the EU (can you pay for no ads, can you buy and they will ship merch to the EU?).

> are they selling extras to the EU

Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. If you take money from EU citizens, then you can be expected to treat at least them in accordance with european standards. If you don't like it, then we don't want your busyness, as simple as that (even though that might not be the position of every citizen, it's essentially what GDPR states)
