Hm, I don't know all the details of those websites, but I think it might have also something to do with the unwillingness to having to comply with foreign law.

The US Military News for example, probably won't need the tracking, as they have other intel and income sources, but they are also on the list. I suspect as a political statement.

A political statement against protecting people? Awesome.

A political statement against foreign intervention. A la, if there is a need to protect people, then we make those laws ourself. "But who is the EU to tell our companys what to do!"

But maybe note, that I am explaining the possible point of view for this side, not that I take this side. But since I got downvoted allready apparently, this was intellectually too hard for some to understand.

Maybe not a political statement, just unwillingness to pay lawyers extra for supporting compliance to a law they don't care about.
