What organization is responsible for fine enforcement?
If such a fine is levied, but the company is based in China, does China have any treaties with the EU demanding the fine be enforced, or can they tell the EU to go pound sand?
- kazen44 8y agoGDPR could become a global thing, because it could be used by the EU as a predecent for Free trade agreements. (which most nations in the world are happy to sign).
- fixermark 8y agoIt could, but with controversial concepts like "right to be forgotten" baked into the GDPR, I don't assume most nations will necessarily be happy to sign "free" trade that requires them to rewrite history records.

Of course they could just decide to fold that operation, especially considering (IANAL, but) the policy doesn't appear fully GDPR-compliant. I doubt that they are making significant profit in Europe anyway. [1] http://www.wechat.com/mobile/htdocs/en/cookies_policy.html http://www.wechat.com/mobile/htdocs/en/cookies_policy.html
