> Austrian Data Protection Authority strikes the same chord as the European court when declaring Privacy Shield as invalid: It has decided that the use of Google Analytics violates the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It seems Google was sued in Austria and they have found it to violate the GDPR so yes, it applies to the whole EU.

Not Google, a company. Because not GA on it's self is illegal. The use of GA is illegal.
