That may be but I never agreed to this, and now I miss some awesome information about my favorite topic and journalist.

This is nothing short of awesome, because it has so many "oldies but goldies" and although I have seen a few things of what is offered, it leaves mountains of historical stories and videos of interviews I have never seen that are very valuable, especially because many of them confirm just how often the public is lied to by officials.
It's very disappointing to hear that the UK/EU authorities have instituted the squashing of rights for the public there to even view the web site. They have crossed the big red line IMO.

I think you still don't understand it. The legislation to respect user privacy is working to some extent if it either blocks them from regular access which doesn't protect their privacy, or forces them to use VPNs which has more privacy features than regular access. So it is working even if they access using VPNs. If you say it doesn't seem to be working, you don't get it. You too might have more privacy using VPN depending on the VPN service provider (The "VPN" built into Opera browser, not so much, but other VPNs can provide more privacy).

Ah what a nice way to politely say censorship. Blocking content is not enforcing anyone's right, it's over riding that right and doing for you and putting a nice name on it all. Whomever it is doing it was handed the authority by government action or agreement. Every choice will be made for you.
Over here in the USA our privacy is our own responsibility, although there are laws to keep people like the GDPR's of the world from doing it for us.
We don't need no stinking GDPR. It doesn't seem to be working over there if people have to use a VPN and are circumventing it, so it's useless.

If it's censorship it's from the lazy idiots that made the site, not the EU.
