Why wouldn't a "agreement" already be in place by the mere fact that those URLs are open to the entire world on purpose? Why can't EU citizens decide they WANT to contact google to download fonts? Banning that automatically doesn't sound very freedom-like.

I disagree with this because there are several reasons not to host it yourself, especially when you do not have the network/computing capacity to serve your users all of the content by yourself.

And what about loading resources from other third parties that aren't CDNs? Or just accessing any non-EU site in general. Is that now illegal too? It makes no sense to me. This seems wide open for massive abuse.
