Got it. In that case, whatever European commission is in charge of GDPR fines can charge them a % of their $0/year income like other GDPR violators.

- dgellow 5y agoI'm not sure that you understand GDPR fines, the annual revenue is only used as an upper limit for companies with massive revenue. The service being free doesn't protect you. > The less severe infringements could result in a fine of _up to €10 million, or 2% of the firm’s worldwide annual revenue_ from the preceding financial year, _whichever amount is higher_. > The more serious infringements go against the very principles of the right to privacy and the right to be forgotten that are at the heart of the GDPR. These types of infringements could result in a fine of _up to €20 million, or 4% of the firm’s worldwide annual revenue_ from the preceding financial year, _whichever amount is higher_.

- brobinson 5y agoGood to know. Hope the author of the site is aware of this if they ever go to Europe. They should just block European IPs like other sites do, though. It'd be safer for them and also less work.
- dgellow 5y agoYep. But as I said, California CCPA is more or less equivalent to GDPR, so even this might not be enough.
