Question: I'm guessing this blocking is all based off of IP address, can anyone confirm?

If so, does a VPN with (say) a US endpoint get around it?

I agree. My first reaction when it broke about them blocking news was 'I don't see them or use them as a news aggregator anyway, so who cares'; let them take their click bait promotion and dwell time algorithms elsewhere.
