Thanks for pointing this out. It doesn't seem to be targeted.

Air France KLM Flying Blue is offering status matches up to Platinum, the level required to redeem points for first class awards on Air France. They’ll even match United Platinum and American Platinum Pro members to Flying Blue Platinum.
There are two caveats.
- This is a paid status match opportunity, with Silver costing €79; Gold €199; Platinum €399.
- This is targeted at U.K. residents, “The Status Match offer is only open to UK passport or driver’s license holders. You may be required to provide evidence upon application.”
