No. They absolutely won't. Not if I'm not breaking any US laws. The EU bitching would have as much impact as a government official from say Narau doing the same. None.

> Your butthurt about the GDPR doesn't absolve you from your obligations under the CAN SPAM act.

No. You are misunderstanding and conflating things. My point is I can do whatever I want so long as I am in compliance with US law including CAN-SPAM, and even if I violate GDPR as much as I want (again, as long as it doesn't violate US law).

It's a greyzone situation, but if you started sending (for me) spam emails to me, and your unsubscribe link doesn't work, because you decided to block the whole eu from all of your services, including the unsubscribe feature, you probably are breaking the US spam laws too.

I agree that's likely. Then I guess it would matter what recourse the EU citizen would have. They would have to file suit in the US I would think.
