Seems like an overreaction in some of these. Perhaps the people running them were close to the edge and more mental burden just pushes them over it.

It's like local US news websites blocking European users over GDPR concerns.

I don't know if you said this sarcastically, but I have a friend in Switzerland who reads U.S. news websites via Web Archive or Archive IS exactly because of that.

Accessing some of these news sites returns CloudFlare's "not available" in your region message or similar.

No sarcasm. I totally understand why a local news website in the US would just block since its irrelevant for them any traffic from outside the country and they're have little resources. I don't judge them from blocking.

Fact is that its very unlikely they would ever face any issues about having it not blocked.
