What happened here is that GDPR fell into place (200-page EU regulation). Everytime that anyone (in China, the US, Mexico, Finland, etc) prints a story or article....when anyone from the EU hits the story....they (the reader from an EU country) will either hit a site which may or may not be complying (maybe by accident even), or they are hitting a warning message by the EU that they can’t read the site because of a lack of compliance.

I would regard this as a test phase where the EU proves that they can force newspapers, social media sites, or whatever....that they have to comply with the EU standards. Once proven successful...you will see yearly attempts to control the brand or message.

If you were wondering why so many Brits were pro-BREXIT....well...this is one of the reasons.
