Is it illegal to use my website from Italy? I store PII (and everything else) in the US.

No. It's illegal for you to operate in the EU.

What does that mean? Europeans use my website.

It's your responsibility to not export PII of Europeans to America, and/or to stop them from accessing your content.

My website does not care where you live.

What exactly will happen me if I do not block Europeans from using my website?

If you are breaking European law, you can't operate in Europe? What is so hard to understand about this? Amend your code to not send PII of Europeans outside Europe, or pussy out and give a "451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons".

The question is still outstanding, so let me quote myself:

> What exactly will happen me if I do not block Europeans from using my website?

My website is available to Europeans. They use it. They even pay me money for it. What's going to happen?
