But realy: > This would be wonderful but obviously is not going to happen. Yea. But, pleas, someone explain to me why it is such imposibility to global corporation to have servers/datacenters per country ? Some contacts will obviously break. If it is such profitable business then whats a problem ? ;) IRC did this in 90's. Also DNS works somehow, magically it seems... Why not have opensource protocol named FB ? ;)

It's not about data centers, it's that they have to comply with data processing and merging requirements. This includes specifying who will have access to the data. Plain "3rd parties" will be illegal. Which means they cannot sell it willy nilly. Plus they have to ask every EU user for proper consent and inform them of any changes in data processing policy.

  GDPR in general isn't about Data centres but the current specific hot-topic of data-sharing agreements between US and EU is ... there was up 'til now a gentlemans agreement that data could be transferred to the US under the promise they wouldn't do anything naughty. Courts have rightly ruled this is as silly as it sounds.
