- TomMarius 9y agoThat's not possible according to GDPR. Edit: downvotes? Really? Did you guys read the law at all?
- wang_li 9y agoIf it's not possible then it's a rather breathtaking claim of authority that a non EU based business cannot exclude EU citizens.

- PeterisP 9y agoThe general direction is correct, but not the specific implementation - since it applies to everyone in the EU, no matter what their citizenship, you can just reject all transactions where the shipping address (or credit card address for virtual goods) is in the EU; and that should probably be fine. On the other hand, if you actually want to sell stuff to EU and get a nontrivial number of deals, then no amount of weird checkboxes is going to convince the regulator that it's okay, they aren't stupid.
