If their product is accessible from within the EU, they have to implement the proper rules. That’s why many of the minor / weird news sites aren’t accessible from the EU anymore without VPN. Which I consider a win for EU citizens.

It's even broader. An EU citizen living anywhere accessing any site can report that site. It may be that the EU won't be able to collect the fine--assuming the owners never travel to the EU--but they can be fined.
