Yes so the informed choice they made was "block gdpr countries" vs "be transparent about our use of personal data".

Every site that gdpr-blocks itself is saying that they intend to extract value from your data and they don't want to tell you how.

No, it can also be saying "I simply have too many other things to do than worry about what the correct data retention or ban appeal or DSA statement of reasons requirement or DSA statement of reasons transparency DB API or UK Ofcom age verification requirements or..."

Sometimes if you're just one person and the EU isn't a core market and you are a small business or non-profit, it's easier to just say, ok you know what, no thanks to all this for now.

The signal remains the same:

"Will you sell my data?"

"This interview is over. (I'm very busy.)"

That's absurd. Are you, right now, compliant with all relevant laws and regulations in Turkmenistan? Do you have legal advice to back that up? Why not? Is it because you're a criminal?

No! Of course not! It's because you don't care about Turkmenistan, to the extent you've never even bothered to look up what is and is not legal there, let alone get legal advice about it. That's a perfectly fine answer. This random Michigan newspaper doesn't care about the EU. That's a perfectly fine answer too.

Turkmen: "Will you sell my data?"

Me: "No."

[master-lincoln]

No Turkmen official will approach you to ask that question. You would need to anticipate what the important questions are to comply with Turkmenistan's laws (or hire somebody to figure this out).

If complying with the GDPR was that easy an entire industry wouldn't be needed.

Use of AWS availability zones as it applies to Article 5?

It is that easy.
