If Techcrunch/Oath is selling/collecting Europeans' data, they are bound by the GDPR.
Whether they have enough operations in the EU for the EU to enforce it is another matter.
- oh_sigh 8y agoThat is not true at all. I'd encourage you to generally make sure you understand an issue before making pronouncements like this. https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2017/12/04/yes-the-gdpr-will-affect-your-u-s-based-business/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2017/12/04/ye... > The organization would have to target a data subject in an EU country. Generic marketing doesn’t count. For example, a Dutch user who Googles and finds an English-language webpage written for U.S. consumers or B2B customers would not be covered under the GDPR. However, if the marketing is in the language of that country and there are references to EU users and customers, then the webpage would be considered targeted marketing and the GDPR will apply. If Techcrunch has offices or business partners in the EU, or targets EU users for example by having a Dutch-based version of their site, then they would need to comply with GDPR. But if they don't have any of that, then they don't need to comply.
