Uh? This is already how the world works. It does not matter where you are located as long are you are transacting with EU citizens.
In extreme cases of non-compliance, avenues for enforcement that have been discussed reuse existing Anti Money Laundering mechanisms: once flagged in the system, banks will simply freeze your business assets connected to EU countries and you might be arrested upon crossing any EU border.
- ysv2 9y agoI have no business assets connected to any EU countries, and I don't have any desire to cross any EU borders. So I will continue to enjoy life in my home country and ignore your provincial laws.
- akie 9y ago> provincial ... because laws that enable mass-surveillance are somehow worldly?
- kbart 9y agoSo why are you so nervous? Just ban all those 500 millions "provincial" users and feel free to ignore GPDR. It's nothing new that countries extend protection for their citizens and business entities well beyond its borders, for example, US routinely extradites foreign citizens that have nothing to do with USA for DMCA violations, hacking and whatnot.
- ysv2 9y agoNervous? Not at all. My point is, it isn't my responsibility to ban them or take any other action on my end. That's a problem to be resolved between the EU's governments and its citizens.
