Fines 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).

- 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?

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.
