This bothers me a lot as well. The EU shouldn't have domain over American companies. There's a reason that there isn't a ton of Tech companies in places like Germany.
- BLanen 8y agoThey don't have domain over American companies. Just don't accept European customer's data and you're fine.
- panarky 8y agoI'm not a citizen of Pakistan. I don't live in Pakistan. My servers aren't in Pakistan. Pakistan can't force me to comply with their laws just because a Pakistani national uses my site. Same thing with EU laws.
- roddds 8y agoIf you want to do business in Pakistan you do.
- panarky 8y agoI'm not doing business in Pakistan or in the EU. The mere fact that a Pakistani or European uses my site doesn't subject me to the laws of Pakistan or the European Union.
- marak830 8y agoThe fact that they are using your site means you are doing business with them.
- dzelzs 8y agoYou know, same could be said for the US, but look how that turned out for Kim Dotcom. Extradition and humongous expenses for him - all because people in a country that was unrelated to the site decided to break their copyright rules and use it :).
- sincerely 8y agoThey don't have domain over American companies if they're not doing business in the EU.
- omnimus 8y agoWell internet is a connected place. Same things happen when US changes their policy. Foe example new net neutrality laws will probably somehow affect the whole world. Also i think there are lot of tech companies in Germany they just target german audience.
