EU laws do not apply to the rest of the world. No need to spin up TOR. Put your site in California that should be enough. I don't see HN caring a rat ass about EU law, in the same way that HN did not ask for a publishing license from the Chinese department of communication.
The irony is that the French are the first ones to complain about the hegemony of sites like Google (burning tons of tax payers' money on useless projects like the Quaero search engine), but when they're given an opportunity to shoot themselves up in the foot repeatably, and to kill ANY hope of having ANY European site that EVER competes with the US then they seize on it. It's the apex of stupidity.
I'm going to write an angry mail to my French representative tonight.
