Assange is an Australian, currently in the U.K., and was accused of rape in Sweden. We shouldn't let the apparently global reach of U.S. law go unexamined.
- sbuttgereit 7y agoSo as an American, with an American targeted business (and having never visited the EU), doesn't the EU's GDPR law make the same attempt at global reach should a European decide, unbeknownst to me, to visit my web properties? Or are you suggesting that laws that try to assert such global scope are wrong in general?
- deogeo 7y agoThat's a good question - if your business has no presence in the EU, then I would think the GDPR is toothless? But yes, I don't like such laws in general. Although the attempt is certainly not the same, as I don't think you can get extradited for GDPR violations.
