Of course, it is an option, the problem is that you claim not to be and you claim that "the EU and GDPR proponents' mindsets make a lot more sense" because I asked a question to emphasize the "test" on the EU citizens.
I see you're in Texas. Don't worry too much about EU, we are doing fine. We will figure this thing out if it turns out to be more bad than good.
