A bunch of companies are going to do this and then regret it when they notice that their competitors really didn't have to do much work to become compliant.

Then they'll try to come back... after their EU user-base was kicked out and forced to find alternatives.

That’s assuming that a competitor can make it cost effective.

If the original business couldn’t, its unlikely the competitor could.

I know in my business I’m shutting off EU sales.

Considering amount of FUD spread about fines, even here, with fairly educated readership - I don't think you can really trust other people's cost / benefit analysis, even when they happen to have same variables with same values.

People are often wrong even in much clearer cases . . .
