Yeah, but what would you do if the EU decides that you cannot sell your product in the EU?

I would continue to do nothing special to support the EU's provincial laws. If EU citizens want to send me money, fine. If the EU decides to block its citizens from doing so, that's also fine.

But I will take no actions on my end to implement EU laws, and it's laughable that some people in this thread imagine the EU has the power to coerce me to do so.

Well, if they really really wanted it, they might be able penalize you. How about everytime you travel, make sure the country won't extradite you. How about your employees? Is that risk acceptable and fair to them?

I don't like what is happening here, but when people want a particular outcome strong enough, they tend set aside more principled concerns.

Will you be traveling to an EU country at any point in your life? Imagine fines are levied against you or your company and you refuse or ignore them and continue to operate as before. Could cause you trouble at the border
