If a website irresponsibly collects and stores information from individuals located in the EU, then they are violating the individual's data rights.
It seems like e.g. the US CLOUD act requires US businesses to provide their agencies access to any data, whether that data is hosted in the US or not. IANAL but this looks to me like even if Google uses EU based servers to host fonts, they would still be required to provide PII to US agencies.
There are other non-EU countries in the world with GDPR compatible regulations.

- janto 5y agoI'm tilted more towards the US being in the wrong here and should repeal some acts. I do agree with you that it applies to every website in the world when it collects info on individuals located in the EU. Penalties only seem to occur if your business operates in the EU. So some subset of websites could ignore it I guess? IANAL. Edit: Also the more I read about the GDPR (and the CLOUD act), the more I'm in favor of it.
