Ehh, the site is local news for Louisville. They might not be consciously doing anything against GDPR, just decided that the cost to make sure they're GDPR compliant isn't worth the minuscule number of added viewers.
No, we've been over this. If they were a local news site, they would have nothing to fear, since they can't reasonably be expected to be doing business with Europeans. If they are a huge multi-national pretending to be a local news site, then the GDPR block makes sense.
The funny thing is, as local news for Louisville, GDPR doesn't even apply. (Yes, this was more than clarified already.) More than likely, they implemented some third party adtech tracking vendor, which is by default blocking EU countries from sites now, or has to for it's own compliance across it's entire network.
