OK, so if I'm a blogger making a few hundred dollars a month from adsense on my blog, I'm actually subject to every single jurisdiction on the planet unless I actively (and completely!!!) block access from there?

This is exactly why I said this is a slippery slope. Some people in other threads argued you are providing a service, but to me this makes no sense. You are not actively doing anything or targeting people from countries that might somehow interpret your content or activities illegal.

This is why a lot of content is hosted on large platforms that handle this risk for you. But if you don't collect any personal data on those users your exposure is minimal but technically some jurisdiction could claim you allowed access to "illegal content" under their law.

Most of these jurisdictions can't actually do anything about it, but they can claim they will. The UK might actually be in this situation.
