The question this raises for me is if it is possible (showing my ignorance here) to have a social (or any website) that blocks a country (or whole continent in this case) to avoid restrictive laws as they are pushing. The UK has gotten really bad at arresting their citizens for speaking up about their concerns, deeming it as hate speech. The thought they could trample all websites no matter where you are in the world is alarming.

Just bury it somewhere in the terms of use that you can't be in the EU. If the EU government tries to sue you, you can say that to your knowledge, you don't have anybody in the EU using your site. If a user sues you for breaking EU law, then argue that they broke the contract by being in the EU.
Yes, unless a VPN is used. IPs are relative to regions they are used in. Yeah Europe has it a lot worse than the US. These laws are going to spread if the docile populace accepts them in some areas, validating their implementation.
