Perhaps, when it comes down to it, he doesn't want to be subject to a law that he had no ability to influence given that he's not an EU citizen. In blocking EU users he is fully compliant with the GDPR as he has zero of their personal data to begin with?

If that was the case, no one outside the US could use VISA/MasterCard either (they enforce US laws on all international customers), or could make any business with any US company (even HN has to enforce the Iran embargo on all its international users).

If you want to criticize local laws applied internationally, abolish the US.

i believe they enforce them legally, via international law. there is no such thing about privacy

Sure, he's entitled to take his ball and go home if he really wants to. That doesn't put him in the right, and it doesn't make his move anything more than whining.
