I don't know where this is pulling data from, but:

> Country United Kingdom

> Country (ISO code) GB

> In EU? true

Well, that's inaccurate for a start.

I presume the reason is GDPR checking.

Has the UK data protection law deviated significantly from GDPR?

AFAIK data protection law has not (yet, at least) deviated significantly in the UK vs GDPR.

But if that's the reason, it should be labelled as such: "GDPR applies" or something.

If that is the case, then it's incorrectly showing false for Norway, who as an EEA member is subject to the GDPR.

It is a GitHub project, there's already an issue for the UK:

https://github.com/mpolden/echoip/issues/130

Perhaps you ought to open one for Norway? (I don't think it would be appropriate for me to do it because I am not seeing the issue, not being in Norway.)
