The EU is now dictating what Americans may and may not do with their blogs?

I just found this notice on one of my Blogger information pages. I have no idea when it was posted as it is not dated and I haven't been keeping up with my blog much lately.

I CONSIDER THIS TO BE AN OUTRAGEOUS INTRUSION ON MY RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES. I AM NOT A CITIZEN OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND NOT SUBJECT TO THEIR LAWS.

European Union laws require you to give European Union visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.

As a courtesy, we have added a notice on your blog to explain Google's use of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies.

You are responsible for confirming this notice actually works for your blog, and that it displays. If you employ other cookies, for example by adding third party features, this notice may not work for you. Learn more about this notice and your responsibilities.

I HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE EUROPEAN UNION. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
