As far as I can tell there's still no actual mechanism in existence to enforce GDPR against an entity which has no significant operations in/financial exposure to the EU.
The GDPR text basically says "we'll ask other countries nicely and negotiate with them".
I'll be interested to see how the first real case goes against even a US-based entity that doesn't operate in the EU, much less one based in a country like North Korea.
- deith 7y agoI assume they will just block the domain.
- jiveturkey 7y ago"they" being the entire EU? there's no mechanism for that.
- Jimw338 7y ago> no mechanism for [blocking access to company X for the whole EU] ..they'll ask all the EU ISPs in each of 28 member states to block company X - nicely. () "EU citizens" meaning potential customers of company X - the "enticement" for company X to pay the EU the fine.
