"You don't have to respect it if you are not in the EU."
Like most of these silly laws, it depends how big you are, Google couldn't get away with it but 99.9% of smaller websites could.
- pluma 9y agoGoogle couldn't get away with it because Google does business in the EU and has subsidiaries in the EU so it needs to comply with EU law. It's no different than physical products. If you produce and ship your product locally to the local market that is not part of the EU and someone exports your goods to the EU, it's their problem if they need to comply with EU law, not yours. If you want to distribute your product in the EU directly and maybe even create a separate company within the EU to do so, you have to comply with EU law or face consequences.
