I’m not disputing this is the case ( you fall under GDPR even if you put a geo blocker ) but, I feel like this is something absurd from GDPRs part.

If you say “we don’t want eu clients” and actively try to keep them away, to me it makes sense not to be liable anymore.

I feel like it’s like, let’s say this scenario. I’m pretty sure in Germany it’s illegal to host content promoting nazisim. Let’s say a hacker posts against all measures taken by the company content that is against the law. Should the german website be held accountable for content they unwilling hosted for a time? Shouldn’t the fact this was done against the wishes of the platform matter?

I might be wrong technically with the german example but the point still stands. I don’t think a platform should be liable if it’s in breach of a law against it’s wishes, if it has reasonable prevention and mitigation measures in place.
