A lot of what the EU is doing is to protect against predatory behaviour of big tech and others. People don't deserve to be exploited if they are not capable of protecting themselves in a "wild west" Internet.

Of course. But what if I don't care? The problem is that there's no "I accept the risks, give me the unregulated version" button on the newer regulations. For example, there's Windows N edition, which complies with older EU regulation by not including media players and some other pre-installed apps. I can choose this edition, but if I don't care then I can also just choose regular Windows in the installer. That's great. I want this choice for all features "not available (yet) in the EU". Some foreign local news sites block all EU users because they don't want to deal with GDPR, and they can't really give me the option to continue anyway as far as I'm aware. That's a block, and I don't support that.
