Expect to see more of this, especially when the audience is local/US. IIRC, some newspapers are already doing region blocks. Why should website owners targeting US visitors spend _any_ amount of money making their content comply with asinine regulations (like cookie banners)?

Cookie banners are not a regulation requirement.

Contrary to what you seem to believe...There were more geoblocks when the EU law went into action a couple of years ago. There are less now.

Source for that?

My personal experience.
EU cookie directive predates GDPR. Notices have long been required by that regulation for use of non-essential cookies.
