It's more than that. The EU law lets any EU citizen report a company that's not in compliance. That includes companies not strictly in the EU. It's why even US companies tend to be in compliance (or something like compliance).

    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 they happen to live 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.
