Well, a lot of websites are currently based in the US, and policies like this would hurt newer players. Over time, I'd expect more startups to be successful outside the US than inside.

I'm American and I also wish that this policy didn't impact the world but the fact is that the world is connected, and pollution made in one place will eventually drift and effect another place.

I don't want to overstate how big of a worldwide impact this policy would have, just pointing out it does have some. If anything, it's an opportunity for other countries to operate differently and attract top tech talent, sort of like France is trying to do.
