No, the answer is "Anyone infringes on those rights." It just so happens that some "Tech Giants" fit into that category.

  >No, the answer is "Anyone infringes on those rights." Nope a small American firm can infringe those rights and face zero consequences. A US Multinational with operations in Europe can't. So implicitly -- bigger companies are targeted as they have more of a global footprint.

      Since you can't read your own link: >The second exception is for organizations with fewer than 250 employees. Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are not totally exempt from the GDPR, but the regulation does free them from record-keeping obligations in most cases (see Article 30.5).

        So "Tech Giants" are "anyone with >250 employees".. That's a mighty tight clutch you have on those straws.
