You arrest company officers flying into the EU (even for a layover, even for emergency landings) for default judgements.
You block their companies from doing business in the EU. You confiscate bank accounts set in the EU, you confiscate shipments to/from the EU.
- riffraff 9y agoAnd obviously, you block the service in the EU. Most users are not technically proficient, and a simple DNS block is enough.
- astkaasa 9y agoThen Chinese people can teach them how to cross the 'WALL'.
- riffraff 9y agoyou don't need the chinese, DNS blocking is used in many european countries even today, to block torrent or streaming sites.
- AstralStorm 9y agoAs is the case with the Chinese firewall, most people will not bother. They will instead use alternate sane businesses offering similar services.
- msravi 9y agoHmm.. might work if it's not a one-person shop with no company name, etc.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoYeah, might work if you have no plan on monetizing your product in any way. Not selling to users in the EU, not selling to advertisers in the EU, not selling anything to anyone in the EU, then you might get away with collecting data of your EU users ... for what exactly?
- pcr0 9y agoFor a public company, sure. How would you find company officers of private offshore companies located in Cayman/Seychelles/BVI?
- guitarbill 9y agoOf course you can always do illegal stuff. GDPR won't change that. You can still buy e.g. stolen credit cards on the black market. But personal information? Doesn't seem worth the hassle, especially when you can anonymize it and keep using it. Or get consent. If you're smart enough not to get caught, you're probably smart enough to come up with a business model that isn't shitty.
