I'm interested in enforcement mechanisms a European court would have over a purely American company that did track European customers. People around here seem to assume that Europe has enforcement powers over the entire world, which seems bizarre to me. Do we also collectively assume North Korea can enforce its laws in Silicon Valley?
- jacquesm 5y agoAmerica seems to believe the exact same thing. The typical way is that they pluck execs out of airport lines. For instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carruthers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carruthers Was a pretty high profile case like that. You may of course disagree with that but I think that if you intend to do business in a country that you should abide by the laws of that country, even if there is no direct way to enforce them. Sooner or later you may find that nation states have pretty long reach.
