“The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits national origin discrimination. Often that means banning polices that have a disproportionate advantage for people from certain countries. If the courts accept this line of reasoning here, that means companies are underestimating compliance obligations by orders of magnitude,”

- craftyguy 8y agoI haven't read the full text of the GDPR, but how exactly would the EU enforce fines like this against a company that ignores the GDPR but provides a virtual service within their border? E.g. a social media web service that has no physical assets in the EU. They could fine them all day long, but would have no power to enforce, right? Blocking IPs is a cat/mouse game.
