Can launches can be targeted (legally) to a country? The site is hosted in London and am already GDPR compliant - wonder if this is means it is not under Austra

  If you're not an Aussie company, and don't have any staff in Australia, then it's a long reach for them to do something to you. If you specifically reject all customers attempting to sign up from an Aussie IP address, or with an Aussie physical address (if you have that), then you're on pretty firm ground to tell them to piss off if they come knocking. But, y'know, I'm not a lawyer, and you might be subject to whatever whims any country cares to hit you with. Get some legal advice before trusting some random internet comment ;)

    I guess the poster child for this is Kim Dotcom. Launched a file sharing service from New Zealand that didn't break any NZ laws. USA didn't like it though, and asked NZ to extradite him to face charges in the USA. Legal battle still going, I think... but the business is dead. I doubt Australia has that much clout, but you never know when an extradition will be the price of some favour to someone...

  If the business is registered in Australia then you're under Australian laws, regardless of where it's hosted. All my hosting is done in the US, but that doesn't mean any of my businesses are necessarily American.
