Mind you, taking whatever-it-is off the internet is fine too
We won’t take our services off the Internet. We’ll simply block you and your overbearing friends in the EU from accessing them. You might not miss one of us, but you’ll likely miss hundreds of thousands of us. Enjoy Facebook. That may be the only site you still have access to when the dust settles.
Compliance is trivial
Since you are saying that, I can guarantee that you haven’t actually read the law or been in charge of trying to make a website compliant. That is an absurdly incorrect statement. Billions are being spent around the world on attempts to comply with it.
