The difference between BBC blocked in China and Chicago Tribune blocked in the EU I’m my opinion is CT actively block the EU because they don’t want to deal with the GDPR but China blocking the BBC is a decision outside of the BBC’s control.

But how do I, as a resident of Brazil, know that CT is blocked in Europe?

I was just comparing the two sites. I'm not saying Geo-Blocked sites should be banned on HN, As I said in another comment, I think the same rule that applies to paywalls should be applied to to sites that geoblock themselves (Not being geoblocked by a goverment which the BBC is in China).
If their are workaround for a paywalled site then its allowed on HN. So if their are workaround for the geoblocking (outline, google cache, archive.today, etc)then I think they should be allowed.
As for how you will know if a sit is blocked, the same way people find out about soft paywalls, the comments will tell you. Its not like a crime to post paywalled sites to HN.
