It's your responsibility to not export PII of Europeans to America, and/or to stop them from accessing your content.

My website does not care where you live. What exactly will happen me if I do not block Europeans from using my website?

If you are breaking European law, you can't operate in Europe? What is so hard to understand about this? Amend your code to not send PII of Europeans outside Europe, or pussy out and give a "451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons".

The question is still outstanding, so let me quote myself:

My website is available to Europeans. They use it. They even pay me money for it. What's going to happen?

They can probably start a lawsuit

Does this imply that the EU is "non-capitalist" or something? "EU startups don't have to "catch up"..." then don't get surprised when EU talent is poached by US and Asian HRs for x2-x3 rates. And before you're gonna talk about all those "free" (taxpayer funded) services and how no European would ever move to Asia or NA, i'd like to remind you that we're in the remote work world now :)

Replying to a comment that states: "not everything revolves around money" with "but we make more money".

That's one way to read it, except it's more like "replying to a comment stating that EU startups (something that is about money) don't have to catch up to their US competitors with "sure, but don't get surprised when EU startups are going to be at a huge disadvantage when it comes to offering a worthy reward as a result of "not caring about money"".
