Is it illegal to use my website from Italy? I store PII (and everything else) in the US.","comments":[{"id":31858447,"user":"dmitriid","time":1656052698,"time_ago":"3 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

No. It's illegal for you to operate in the EU.","comments":[{"id":31872896,"user":"stickfigure","time":1656136115,"time_ago":"3 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

What does that mean? Europeans use my website.","comments":[{"id":31881894,"user":"xcdzvyn","time":1656228776,"time_ago":"3 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

It's your responsibility to not export PII of Europeans to America, and/or to stop them from accessing your content.","comments":[{"id":31904251,"user":"stickfigure","time":1656392263,"time_ago":"3 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

What exactly will happen me if I do not block Europeans from using my website?","comments":[{"id":31929643,"user":"bruce343434","time":1656574070,"time_ago":"3 years ago","type":"comment","content":"
