- jhall1468 8y agoThat's not an example of what I asked for. Microsoft had offices in the EU when this case started, which made them an EU company for all intents and purposes.
- krageon 8y agoWhen did I mention case law? Shouldn't you be asking me for proof of the accords I mentioned, which is what I'm actually talking about?
- jhall1468 8y agoI asked for case law because that would give me evidence that this actually happened. That's because it can't happen. That's because you're dead wrong: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2007530-how-the-eu-can-fine-us-companies-for-violating-gdpr https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2007530-how-the-eu-ca... "While we don’t yet have U.S.-EU negotiated civil enforcement mechanisms for the GDPR (and it is unknown whether we ever will), there is still the application of international law and potential cooperation agreements between U.S. and EU law enforcement agencies, which have been increasing in recent years." That's politician for "We have absolutely no recourse if the company doesn't have an established business in the EU." EDIT: That's a nice article. It goes to explain that if a company has no presence in the EU, it has to identify an agent in the EU to act on its behalf. So any company can simply NOT do this if they never intend to have EU offices and the EU has no recourse.
- mbesto 8y agoSo where is the evidence of the accords? How will they enforce it?
- jhall1468 8y agoYou won't get a response. There aren't any accords and there's no way to enforce it. It's empty threats.

- my123 8y agoMicrosoft for antitrust violations more than once is just an example, but that's the EU itself.
- jhall1468 8y agoJust like the other two people that brought up the same thing: Microsoft had a presence in the EU long before the antitrust violations came. I'm talking about a US company that has no presence in the EU. That's a harder example largely because it doesn't exist.
