They are required to comply with it if they want to offer services to European customers. If they don't comply with the local regulation they will face fines and if they don't pay them and become compliant, they might have their access blocked from within the EU.

In Europe fines have been dealt but no blocking yet as far as I am aware. Just the fine and threat of a block happening is usually enough to make companies comply because they don't want to lose out on the market share.

Not necessarily agree, just bow down.

But viewing a page is definitely counted as traffic.

It's implemented at the ISP level, Brazilian courts can mandate all nationally operating ISPs and mobile carries to block certain websites or services if they fail to comply with for example a judicial warrant. This has happened twice with WhatsApp for instance, and Telegram was threatened with it as well because they refused to hand over the identities of neonazi domestic terrorist groups.

Put up a No Whites signs in front of your businesses to really make some noise.

I am aware, but businesses generally don't want their users to jump through hoops to be able to access their services.

I don't think that's something that Reddit would do. They currently have offices in Dublin and Amsterdam, they clearly have an interest in the European market.
