"Ok, then EU shall not have a free option on any of my services. Pay or GTFO. Harms the poor, IMO, but at least the poor's privacy will be protected from ad companies."

Sure. Just like I didn't click on the techcrunch link above, I'm sure I'll live without your server as well :)

There won't be many sites you will be able to click on, nor services. No more free email, no more free news, no more free chat forums. Your web will be a lonely place with a very small number of sites you're able to visit without paying.

Great, this is exactly how capitalism should work. You don't like the rules, don't use my service. If I want you to use my service, I'll change the rules.
