Do you think the EU should be able to enforce a law on a global scale and completely ignore country jurisdiction like they attempt to do with GDPR?

- angott 8y agoThe US has forever been ignoring jurisdiction boundaries just like that. Ever heard of FATCA? Banks anywhere in the world need to report US-resident account holders to the IRS.
- CaptainZapp 8y agoWhich is the reason, why you may have a very hard time to open a bank account abroad, when you're a US citizen. Banks just don't want to deal with that shit, if they can avoid it.
- Maarten88 8y agoThey enforce it only on businesses targeting EU residents. What do you think the US does when I start a business here, say a webshop selling legally allowed recreational drugs, also targeting US consumers?
- ummonk 8y agoYou mean like the US does to Huawei?
- belltaco 8y agoHuh, haven't you heard of offshore sports betting site owners getting arrested? Also, remember kimdotcom?
- ionised 8y agoWhy not? The US does it all the time.
