If this law passed, I would likely have to read it carefully, and possibly block the EU from my websites. That would possibly be easier than trying to comply with it if I even wanted to.
Plus, displaying a notice that your country is blocked because of a stupid law can have a profound effect if enough websites start to display such notices.

Why would you want to comply or block though? If you are yourself in the EU or the corporation your websites run under have offices in the EU, obviously, buuuut guess what? If a 14 year old drinks beer in germany, nobody is prosecuted just becouse the law in the US states theyd have to be 21.
Believe it or not, i barely care about wether this is passed or not and im in the EU. It would simply strengthen alternatives to corporate social media and unless i use those which have offices here, such as youtube, facebook, twitter or google, im not affected.

International law when dealing with websites is more complicated than that. Technically when you are a website you are required to comply with the law from where the server is located, where the owner is located, and where the user is located. This is why I would have to read the law if it had passed.
If you are in Germany, you probably don't care if one of the people drinking there is from the US, but technically, even though they are in Germany, they are required to comply with US law. Now, some kid drinking likely wouldn't be prosecuted, of course. However, if a tourist from America went to another country and picked up a hooker, and they happened to be under 18, even if it was legal there to sleep with a 16-year-old or whatever, they could still be charged, because it's illegal in the US.
Even if the chances of prosecution were low, I might still consider at least having a popup, because fuck this law.

I dont think you are correct there at all. There ARE some laws which involve border crossings - for instance, we have laws here regarding visiting another country with the intend to have sex with or marry children. The crime is still commited on german soil as its about planning to do such things while still here.
Whats relativly common, actualy, is crossing into other countries to take drugs which are legal there. Travel companies organise an exceptional amount of trips to the netherlands for that reason and purpose.

Round one of the Robo-Copyright wars is over. The EU Parliament has recognized that machine censorship of copyright material is not an easy and simple fix. They’ve heard the massive opposition, including Internet blackouts and 750,000 people petitioning them against these proposals.

It only affects you if you use plattforms (such as youtube, google, facebook, twitter and the like) which have offices in and/or do business within the EU. If your plattform doesnt, you dont have to care nor do you if you live in the EU and use plattforms which arent tied to the EU.

I'm linking to this article in my new post about Alex Jones where I talk about how Microsoft and Apple and others are trying to remove and purge files off our computers.
