EU citizen might register in which case they could be forced to comply or suffer fines
- ranger_danger 5y agoFines enforced by who? They are not EU citizens or corporations.
- sofixa 5y agoThe EU of course, there are international agreements, frameworks and even extraditions for such scenarios.If the US can extradite Ukrainians for hosting a torrent tracker, surely the US would extradite people refusing to follow EU law and violate user privacy and consent (joking of course, that would never happen).
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoAny self-respecting nation would ignore treaties requiring them to enforce the laws of foreign nations on citizens who never leave their soil.
- ranger_danger 5y agoSo you're saying people can be punished simply for ONLY following their own country's rules for a website hosted solely within that country? Can you cite any precedent for this especially in the US?
- sofixa 5y agoNo website is "hosted solely in a country" by default. When your website is available to the world, apparently according to the US, you're liable under any jurisdiction out there: https://www.theverge.com/2016/7/20/12243592/kickass-torrents-artem-vaulin-founder-arrested-domains-seized https://www.theverge.com/2016/7/20/12243592/kickass-torrents... That's why there are so many shitty american middle-of-nowhere Daily Star Gazettes that block EU visitors with a laughable "our EU visitors are important for us". It seems that they agree with GDPR that it covers them if they serve anything to EU citizens.
