The Internet is not "business in the US," hence GP's comment. Am I "doing business in the US" by posting this comment? This is really just digital hegemony from the USA.
- lagg 7y agoSorry for being mildly off-topic but the other comment with regards to police being complete morons and causing violence on purpose is pretty much my take on the situation. Definitely justifies my incredulity at the idea. Even the idea of getting weed in a legal state through the mail is strange to me. Let alone this. That said, good luck convincing a great portion of Americans that the US isn't the end-all be-all authority on the internet and that's where all the packets go like a big funnel. Like we never went beyond campuses, token rings and pre-OSI model hackery. The logic is: We engineered the prototype, therefore internet always murika #1. (Signed, an American happy that foreigners are finally calling us out on this behavior. Literally took you centuries)
- chii 7y ago> The Internet is not "business in the US," then why does GDPR affect US companies as well?
- noobiemcfoob 7y agoBecause of the same misguided sense of hegemony the parent references.
- arwineap 7y agoGDPR does not affect US companies that do not collect EU citizens information.
