So is it just a fake threat or are they really taking action?

It's blocked in the UK as well, which is not in the EU or EEA, although does have the same privacy laws (UK GDPR). I assume they're blocking it because they don't care about user privacy. Their choice, but not a good sign.
or because the student newspaper for an American university doesn't care to try to read and comply with foreign laws

#35Please report any suspected collaborators with the Chinese secret police to the DEI campus safety board. All suspects will need to report to the DEI offices for re-education. Joking, but they literally do the exact same shit to Republicans.
I was a Republican. I was always pro choice. I was always skeptical of cops. I thought the Soviet Union and then the rump empire under Putin was dangerous. I never felt "oppressed" by standards of decency. Maybe it's not about being a Republican.

#36I find it highly entertaining that they talk about denying rights and then deny the whole of the EU access because they insist on violating their readers' privacy rights and that would be illegal in the EU.

More likely they're blocking it because they're a local campus newspaper and they spent money on 1hrs worth of time with a lawyer who, well informed or not, told them if they just block the EU/UK they won't have to spend any more money to figure out if they're GDPR compliant or not.

It's not legal reasons it's laziness. GDPR compliance really doesn't cost a lot despite what a lot of legal shills spout...
It's a not-for-profit student newspaper. I doubt it's about tracking.

Perhaps a fair point, but I don't think it's remotely comparable to the topic at hand. We're talking about Chinese-born students in America being ratted out to the Chinese government for exercising their free expression rights like model American citizens, even though they are foreigners. If I had the relevant Presidential powers, I'd offer citizenship to every one of the threatened students, and the rats would be se…
It would be kinda interesting if somebody actually implemented a law like this: all citizens without free speech get automatic asylum. You'd have half of the world turning up on your doorstep within a month.
More seriously, it's also interesting when you think back to how asylum worked during the cold war. Migrants, even explicit economic migrants, were encouraged to emigrate from communist countries (cuba, east germany, etc), while asylum seekers in imminent threat of torture and death (say, 70's era Iranians, 80's tamils, etc) were blocked.
