Article 3 for anyone who's interested. And yeah simple VPN can beat this service. There are ways to block EU residents so as to not have to comply with the regulation, but they require more than a single piece of javascript code.

Like with any law the intent matters if it won’t it’s going to be even more of a clusterfuck. Technically a pop up saying we do not provide service to EU residents is sufficient. My biggest fear currently is that PayPal will force people to comply or refuse to allow EU users to checkout on non compliant storefronts which may impact a lot of small and or niche merchants from being able to sell to the EU or and me form buying form them. This is what the payment processors do in the PCI world and for PayPal to be GDPR compliant they need to make sure that anyone they share data with are also compliant. Not mention that within the EU a lot of blockchain related companies are scratching their heads in how to comply with the data deletion requirements of the GDPR if you write any PII to the blockchain.
