I doubt that. The vast majority of non-US websites has very little to lose from blocking US traffic. And I'm not talking minor sites either.

That's not true at all. Non-US websites will gain the ability to not have to follow US law, and not risk being extradited for doing so.

Ergo, quite clearly, the vast majority of non-US websites have nothing to gain from blocking US traffic. Nothing at all.
