Well then these EU users are illegally accessing a computer and have broken the computer fraud and abuse act.

These users should be prosecuted to the fullest extent in the US for their illegal computer usage.

Eh, I'm not sure we want to go down that road either, but it's an interesting thought experiment. If you declare that EU visitors are unwelcome and unauthorized, are they violating the law by working around that? I find the idea both horrifying and interesting. So many GDPR fans here seem outraged at sites blocking access to them, which seems an acknowledgement that they want to have their cake and eat it too. What if criminal penalties for attempting such enter the mix?

Yeah, I was mostly making my comment in jest, and I find the idea ridiculous.

But I ALSO find it just as ridiculous to prosecute companies for not providing protections to users that they have banned.

It should be fully within everyone's rights to not do business with countries that make silly laws.
