Keep in mind, just blocking traffic out of the EU does not serve as GDPR compliance. EU citizens are covered by GDPR, not EU traffic. A EU citizen traveling to the US is still afforded all the protections of GDPR as they do back at home.
- rarec 8y agoGenuinely curious; how is that even remotely possible to enforce?
- bertolo1988 8y agoIt's not. If you have any legal disagreement with a company outside the EU they tell you to complain on that company origin. I experienced this myself. EU is absolutely powerless outside their borders.
- Kalium 8y agoI understand why you think this way. After all, GDPR is about human rights! In practice, GDPR is binding on businesses that operate within the EU. An EU citizen in the US doing business with a US-only company is not afforded any protections under GDPR.

- azernik 8y agoThis is factually untrue.
- tathougies 8y agoIf the business has no presence in the EU, then the EU is impotent to enforce their law.
