  You can’t just say “nah, fuck it” and not serve the page.

  You can, and it’s compliant. It’s a loss of potential business for companies that haven’t made the necessary changes, but they also don’t get your data.

    True, but it’s also a loss of access due to geographical location, which is the opposite of one of the original main tenets of the internet.

      One of the main tenets of the internet is you can run your site the way you want, but nobody has to visit it. Kind of like free speech, you can say what you want but nobody has to listen to it.

        Not if “the way you want” is by serving malware without giving the user a choice or even informing them that they’re agreeing to malware by entering. That’s all the EU law mandates: seeking informed consent.

  It’s only illegal if you say “nah, fuck it” when users decline to agree with your data collection terms, but offer it when they do.

  This is an identical experience, independent of your (dis)agreement with their policies.

  The EU only cares if your website affects EU citizens. This one has pulled out of the EU market entirely, the EU doesn’t care then and have no jurisdiction either then.
