What bothers me about GDPR is that you can’t make consent a precondition for service. Maybe user data is my business model. Or maybe I’m a US company and I don’t want to have to deal with issues of Europeans accessing my site. Why should the GDPR be my problem if I’m not in the EU. Don’t like it, don’t use it. There’s too much over reach here.
Then block anyone from the EU from accessing your website. If you don't want to deal with EU laws then don't do business with the EU -- it's that simple. If you operated a legal online narcotics or pornography business you would have to do the same thing to not do business with countries where your wares would be illegal to sell.
You can't have it both ways. Either you want to have EU residents as customers, or you don't want to deal with EU laws.
