Every time I see this in the comments it's funny that they don't block me while connecting from country whose digital privacy laws are basically an even stronger version of the GDPR. Tells you about their true reasoning.

seriously, what would their true reasoning be

From which country are you connecting?

Not sure what country you live in, but my guess would be that your country hasn't made the same kind of noises about how wide-ranging GDPR enforcement actions can be.

Personally I don't know about non-EU/UK countries with GDPR-style (or stronger) laws, so if I were operating a website that needed GDPR compliance (and decided to instead block visitors from the EU/UK), I probably would have no idea about needing to do something about visitors from your country.

So I expect their "true reasoning" is just ignorance.
