"I'm not punching you in the face. You're punching yourself in the face by not doing the unreasonable thing I have no right to demand from you."

If a state makes a law that requires a site to track, log, and divulge their users for merely consuming content not even producing, that is thr state violating both the site, and the entirity of their own populace, and even indirectly everyone else in the world who would access that site, not the site violating anything or hurting themselves by "opting" to refuse to cooperate.

The state is the entity refusing to cooperate.

I continually fail to get why people pick the douchebag aggressor side of a problem to defend and excuse and rationalize.

All of these laws make tracking, logging, or divulging the provided information (outside of providing it to a vendor providing the service who has the same non-retention requirements) illegal.
