Let's compare this idea. I should be able to sell verboten art in Germany because I am an American citizen, and it's legal to do so here (but not there), so I "have protections" by my laws in the US?
Or am I misunderstanding how you are justifying the GDPR?
- candiodari 8y agoAnd Germany is free to stop that merchandise at the border, and then burns it. They only very, very rarely do so, but when they do, they will go after the customer that bought it. Same thing when it became clear 2 years ago that sending large amounts of opiates through the mail into Germany is not actually a problem. So theoretically, you are allowed to sell that art, because those laws don't apply to you. In theory it should be stopped at the border, and your customer may get arrested for buying it. In practice, you are allowed to sell that art, and nothing is stopping you. Needless to say, Germany is crying foul ! We make rules, and don't enforce them, and others don't automatically enforce them for us ! Evil capitalist data-selling election-stealing swine !
- RobertRoberts 8y agoSo if American laws (free speech) don't protect Americans in Germany, why should German laws (GDPR) protect Germans in the US? (note, I fully support the spirit of this law, and am happy they are shutting down the data cartels abuses)
