I agree that the USA customs laws are idiotic. They are based on fear and in some respect seem fascist. But you have to travel here for that silly law to affect you.

But under USA law a company ca make it’s own rules (within USA law) and you can choose no to use their service. If you choose not to use their service then the rules don’t reach.

However, I am sitting in my house at home and EU law affects me. I have not travelled to Europe but the law affects me. That’s a problem.
