If there's a successful business that blocks EU access due to GDPR, that's a huge immediate opportunity to enter that market in the EU (unless, of course, the business model is based on resale of personal information).

Or unless the business model is location-based.

The example from a previous HN article was the Chicago Tribune blocking EU access.

Are you saying that there's a "huge immediate opportunity" for people in Europe to read local Chicago news?

Not every business is global. In fact, 99%+ aren't.

Which is exactly the point of the law — it’s a trade barrier.

EU companies also have to abide by it so I don't know how it is a trade barrier.
