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.

South Korea - I was there until very recently. Feel free to look up the privacy laws, they're basically GDPR with extra cherries on top and a chocolate flake. Never got blocked by any of the websites called out here for blocking EU IPs on GDPR grounds.

Has South Korea fined any foreign companies a billion dollars for violating their privacy laws? I have a feeling that may be the difference.
