That is all well and relatable, yet those „silly laws“ you mention explicitly state that I am committing a crime in the UK, while my business is perfectly legal

That is all well and relatable, yet those „silly laws“ you mention explicitly state that I am committing a crime in the UK, while my business is perfectly legal in most other countries. They even mention these laws being enforced extraterritorially, which I’m sure they’re not going to be able to do, but I’d like to go on vacation in London some time again, so there’s that. Effectively, my choice is to skip on the few potential customers the UK has to offer, or risk legal trouble. I’m not sure why anyone would risk that for the comparatively small market of your country: Banning British IPs seems to be a valid, cheap, and low-risk solution to overreaching legislation from a single, unstable government. That isn’t righteousness, it’s simply taking the most logical step to protect myself and my company.
