Have any services banned Europeans in order to avoid having to comply with #GDPR?

If your business model is gathering ridiculous amounts of data, unrelated to the service you are offering, on uninformed customers, it is going to be hard to comply with the new rules where you have to explicitly state (amongst other things) what you are gathering and with what purpose.

I think it is telling that in these companies privacy and security are so badly guaranteed that they prefer shutting out a entire continent instead of fixing it.
