GDPR for lazy people: Block all European users with Cloudflare Workers

The transition period will be difficult for some people, but I think that GDPR will probably be good for the world in the long-term. New companies will start building their systems correctly from the beginning, and, ideally, the law won't be too heavily enforced on small companies during the transition period. The next generation of programming tutorials will show people how to build things in privacy-conscious ways.

I don't think that blocking Europe with Cloudflare is a good idea. How is blocking Europe going to fix the problem of already having European data in your databases?

Maybe. It is more likely the United States will create the opposite regime. Since all major Internet software firms are American or Chinese it is also possible that the EU May sideline itself.

I think it's more likely that other countries will adopt similar data protection rules (and they should).

Why do you think that likely? I don't think it is at all likely, the CIA et. al. like facebook too much.
