What else I could possibly do if complying is not technically possible?

  well certainly not geoblock a lot of your customers maybe your situation is different, but if we geoblocked all of california we'd go out of business within a year

    For global companies, California is less than 40 million people out of more than 8 billion. For regionally concentrated companies, they only have to care if the region they're concentrated in is California. For everyone else, losing a fraction of a percent of the customer base in exchange for lower compliance costs and legal risks is often completely logical.

    Yeah I am with you here, but what else is to be done if legislation is passed that is impossible to comply with? Like in UK.

      The GDPR and other laws were really hammed up by consultants and lawyers looking to make a lot of money claiming it was really difficult to do right, but in my experience it's incredibly overblown. Most of who's getting caught up in these laws are very large companies that could comply but consistently don't put forth effort to do so after repeated complaints. Even if you do fall under the eye of regulators (most won't ever) if you show that you're putting forth a good faith effort to comply it's not a big deal.
