Err, or treat everyone in a compliant way?

It's not like you don't already see this within the US anyway - particularly California.

I believe the California law came after the EU one. And it's still easier to just block EU traffic rather than spending several weeks implementing GDPR cookie popups.

And if you decide to treat everyone the same way, you likely end up with a higher bounce rate for the existing US customers. Hence, blocking.
