    Probably… Or perhaps there is no small sites in EU anymore as they’d get closed because of wrong font. Or maybe that part was made up and small networked news channels like to track what you read. It’s really hard to tell sometimes when there’s so many credible reasons for blocking just the countries that disallows tracking without consent.

      Money. It cost money and takes time to follow gdpr, so obviously small sites outside of eu won’t do it. But I haven’t seen any site inside the eu that had to close because of gdpr, at least in my country.

      I was just using fonts as an example that it is easy to accidentally violate the GDPR. Small sites outside the EU will just decide it’s not worth the hassle. Most of the time, people in the EU won’t have any interest in viewing local news content, so it doesn’t matter anyway
