The US will generally not cooperate unless said thing is also illegal in the US. The EU can ask, they cannot enforce, and the US doesn't make a habit of enforcing laws of foreign nations on citizens when said thing is perfectly legal in the US. If what I'm doing is legal under US law, the EU request will be denied. Only when the thing is illegal in both countries are such requests generally conceded to.
> It's not an EU citizen coming to your US website - it's your US website choosing, willingly, to serve EU citizens.
Wrong, they're coming to my site; I have no way to know they're EU citizens or not, there's a thousand reasons I wouldn't know, it's not like IP is a reliable means. People use vpn's, or EU citizens travel. The burden is not and cannot logically be on me to know where my customers come from. It's impossible to know the citizenship of your customers.
Perfect example, according to the GDPR, an EU citizen travelling in the US who uses my site from the US is still protected by the GDPR; that's horseshit and a technical impossibility; I can't know they're an EU citizen. This law was written by technically illiterate morons.
