How is it "not that difficult"? Can you go into detail?
What are the consequences of failing to serve a popup to e.g. a European who's using a VPN, or who has a slightly unusual IP address for which geolocation doesn't work properly, or to someone with a non-European account who is in Europe on a visa?
- lm28469 7y agoWe're talking about the 0.0001% here, and frankly it doesn't matter. The EU has a fundamentally more sane judicial system than the US, no one will be prosecuted because they didn't serve a pop up to a single EU user who were using a VPN. What matters is that companies are legally obligated to treat personal data as best as they can and if it's proven that they willingly messed up or that they made stupid technical decisions (ie leaving an ES instance open without any password or network protection level of stupidity) they will be held accountable. It's not perfect but it's much better than nothing.
