IP and location have no legal relationship. They barely have actual relationship. I used UK vpn on google.com but it thinks I am from HK. If google cannot get a correct ipdb what chances do others have ?

And why would I block EU ? Connection is intiated by user. So its user importing/exporting data from/to server jurisdiction. Why does not EU force their own citizens to not do business with those companies ?

This line of reasoning didn't work for the poker companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Scheinberg

The US very definitely started the idea that it has global jurisdiction over the internet; why should it be the only such country?

You do know that two wrongs do not make a right.
