For how long will making a private website be viable? Like it seems you will need army of lawyers soon. Hobbyists can't and won't keep on top of all of these rules.
I wonder whether it would be possible to avoid all this bullsh*t by using Geo-Location to deny access to anyone trying to access a website from a location in California? I am not the least bit dependent on income from my private website, and I couldn't care less if Californians let their politicians block access to my website.
I don't think that will be possible, it looks more like death by a thousand cuts as many different places want their own rules. California, UK, EU..
That is one of the goals. Many white-collar classes (lawyers, politicians, etc.) are unhappy with their share of the profits and level of influence over this high-value and high-status sector.
