As the operator of a US-based site (and a rookie), what is the easiest way for me to deal with this? I'm thinking:

- block EU traffic on a CDN level, or perhaps setting up a geoblock in nginx

- ban EU citizens in the T&C on my site

I'm not targeting European customers, so no need to worry about their rules. I just don't want to break a law inadvertently and get in trouble later.

EDIT: the EU has every right to legislate whatever privacy regulations they want. I just don't target EU citizens. But if an EU citizen comes to my site somehow, I'm currently breaking the law over there; I don't want this to ever happen.
