The point you are missing is that if I am an EU citizen, in the US, on my US friend’s computer even, your crappy “location detector” just denied me my rights as an EU citizen. No one cares if the IP address was thought to originate in the EU or US or wherever because that has never been enough information to tell if you are dealing with an EU customer.
- capableweb 4y agoI think the point you're missing about the GDPR is that it doesn't matter where your citizenship is from, your location is what matters. US persons in the EU is as well protected as EU persons in the EU. No matter where you're from, if you're in the EU, GDPR applies. Edit: in order to make this discussion a bit more fact based, as some misinformation is starting to leak into it: I'm referring to Article 3 from GDPR, "Territorial scope". It states: > This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union
- thirdsun 4y agoYou managed to miss the one case the grand parent poster actually mentioned: An EU person located in the US. This person is also covered by the GDPR thereby rendering any geo-absed rules and routings useless.
- capableweb 4y ago> An EU person located in the US. This person is also covered by the GDPR They are not, where are you getting this from? Again, Article 3 from GDPR, "Territorial scope"; > This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union data subjects who are in the Union
