The problem, as well, is that compromising for the EU, which is such a huge block, means major websites may just incorporate the EU-level new standard globally because it's easier and more restrictive policies are still compliant in the US anyway, and if enough of that happens it potentially makes it easier for American rights to be eroded by the back door too (see the
trans lobbying tactics in the UK (
archive) for a similar attempt at normalising something before trying to make it law). America has by far and away the best free speech laws in the world and we'll all suffer, globally, if those get chipped away.
