Bullshit. Please tell me how the EU has any possible way to enforce this law in the courts against some small business in the US that has no EU presence but many EU customers. There is zero chance that US courts are going to let this small business be fined by the EU for violating an EU only law.
Their absolute best option would be to attack global platforms that small businesses rely on to get the platforms to enforce compliance or blacklist those small companies. This is especially potent for Visa and MasterCard. I doubt that will ultimately work though.

Actually, that part is the most plausible way that companies outside the EU with no EU presence could be forced to to comply the the GDPR.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoAgreed that it’s most plausible, but still not very. I don’t think the US is going to stand for letting the EU squeeze these companies to enforce their laws on every small business with a website in the US.
