Doesnt make sense, if google didn’t geoblock EU IP addresses how would the EU react? Issue another fine which Google won’t pay?

A similar analogy would be like the US blocking their citizens from traveling to North Korea. But then having direct flights from LA to Pyongyang and expecting North Korea to enforce the ban of US citizens at their customs. It’s not their responsibility..

Parent post's point was that Google should block European users in response to European sanctions. Why would the EU prevent her denizens from using Google's services for free?

To twist your analogy this is basically like the US deciding not to give Pynongyang aid any more, in which case yeah they might just decide to block US immigration.
