It’s less effort to geoblock europe than to make sure their site complies. Also their website isn’t for europeans, so they have no reason to put in any effort to make it work.
Technically fine explanation but I’d add that it’s actually not less effort to be compliant, they would just have to stop fucking tracking their visitors and they don’t want to. Problem is surveillance capitalism ruining our internet, not regions having privacy laws protecting their citizens
Why is it blocked?
You might try using Tor
GDPR most likely.

If they aren’t in Europe why would they care if it is GDPR compliant?
I’m probably overthinking this
Because they’re still.legally responsible
They are a subsidiary of NBC. If they violate GDPR, European bureaucracy will go after the parent organization. Not worth the hassle.
