China has the stupid laws here. Instead of forcing them onto the rest of the world, they prevent the content from coming into their state.
Likewise GDPR is a "stupid" law, so it's the EU's job to prevent non GDPR sites from coming into Europe, and not Facebook's responsiblity for complying with a stupid law.

- jakelazaroff 8y ago> it's the EU's job to prevent non GDPR sites from coming into Europe, and not Facebook's responsiblity for complying with a stupid law. As the grandparent said, it's not e.g. Facebook's responsibility to comply with the GDPR unless they want to do business in the EU.

- guitarbill 8y agoThat article doesn't really say that: > The organization would have to target a data subject in an EU country. Generic marketing doesn’t count. [...] However, any U.S. company that has identified a market in an EU country and has localized Web content should review their Web operations. (It's actually a decent article that captures the nuances of GDPR well.)
