At least in France, there's CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés) that started going after the top non-compliant websites and sending love letters like "you have N days to become compliant".

And then Europeans complain when the rest of the world geoblocks them.

Where are these fictional Europeans who want strong enforcement of privacy laws and complain about geoblocking?

The whole point is that either you follow our laws or you lose access to Europe. Geoblocking is just self-regulation.

Here's one. I hate it how I can no longer access 90% of local US news websites.

Every single time I've had this problem I've just used the Google cache or archive.org

No one's complaining about not being able to access shitty websites that can't be arsed to make clear which companies are tracking you.

No, we politely inform you that geoblocking is not actually required. But thanks for protecting us from your privacy-violating website anyway.
