They are under no obligation to comply with GDPR.
Yahoo JP actually shut out all foreign (or at least EU) traffic. They could do the same here if they'd want to
As I understand it, the "UK GDPR" is basically the same thing as the EU's GDPR. They need to maintain "adequacy" to continue to comply with the UK's laws and guidelines, so they can't simply block all non-UK traffic.
Yep, there's been no repeal of the GDPR laws, so they are still officially on the books in the UK.
