>Why should I relent when those points show that COPPA is indeed quite different from GDPR? What's the flaw in my reasoning here? The flaw, in my view, is that you begin with something that sounds very general (GDPR is the first extraterritorial law!!) and wind up defending a very particular and narrow statement which is appears distant from your starting position (GDPR is the first extraterritorial law that targets SERVERS). >GDPR is saying they could take action against one lone Chinese person operating a small business from home within China, someone who has never even left China, just because they collected data on someone in France. Personally I wouldn't base my interpretation of a complex, and to a large extend untested, international law on some document from a international conglomerate (i.e. Deloitte). I would ask myself, if there are any ulterior motives (i.e. profit) that might be biasing their view. NB: Biased information != False information.
