They've already balked and panicked that companies are complying too fast and readily that its making them look bad.
This is all just barking to try and act like they are real and tough big boys, and none of these companies should give them anything other than a blanket ban on the UK.
I don't think US companies should geoblock other countries. If they want to oppress their own people, that's on them, we shouldn't participate.
It does come across as half-capitulation to help the UK by blocking the UK. It would make them look far more incompetent and feeble if they kept sending threatening letters and emails and were ignored entirely, or mocked outright.
Other countries have the right to make their own stupid laws. If they intend to make a hassle of enforcing them and push it on to the companies instead of the populace its meant to control, then I think those companies have every right to just remove the hassle rather than entertain and jump through hoops to continue to provide to a cucked population who allow this to happen.
Pushing them into a ghetto of their own making by just cutting them off from the world might be the push necessary to get out of said cucked mindset.
The UK can build a China style firewall if they are so concerned about foreign websites. Any site that isn't hosted in the UK has every right to change nothing about what they are doing. The UK has no jurisdiction over them.
They have no jurisdiction, but US websites also don't have to waste the time and energy dealing with their constant barking. Purely ignoring it isn't forever feasible simply because it'll clutter an inbox where very important things get sent, and there might even be some from them with merit that you need to address from a completely different angle.
Simply letting this go in this manner makes the UK Agency behind it all continue to pretend they are a real thing and demand increasing power/funding because they "need it to be effective because clearly its not working". Its literally giving them an underdog mindset to bounce off of.
When the alternative is tell the Brits, a people so cucked they keep voting for more of this, that they don't get to play with everyone else if their Mom keeps being so fucking annoying. With no downside to doing so, and perhaps even inspire them to raise a problem about it by upsetting their daily life.
