Intent and reasonably foreseeable outcomes probably matters here.
If that company in Belgium advertises worldwide and somehow hires many people who live in New York, you bet NY will argue (successfully) that they have to follow this law, at least prospectively, as it affects residents of their state and the DoL has jurisdiction over protecting the labor rights of its residents.
- robertlagrant 3y agoWhat does that mean in practice?
- ta1243 3y agoI wonder if they'll also be agreeing to enforce the GDPR because New York companies sell services to Belgium citizens
- the_gipsy 3y agoGDPR is already enforced on American companies serving EU citizens. Only if the American company never intends to do business in the EU can they get away with breaching it.
- jabradoodle 3y agoApart from just about every cookie banner in existence which is in breach of gdpr and as of yet basically no consequence.
- sokoloff 3y agoThat's equally true of Belgian and New York companies, though.

- the_gipsy 3y agoYes, however companies are actively being fined for those. It's just that there is a huge amount of websites and not enough resources to prosecute them all at once. https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ https://www.enforcementtracker.com/
- jabradoodle 3y agoHopefully, haven't seen a difference as and end user. Do you know which of those fines are due to non compliant cookie banners? Had a quick look but I'm not well up enough on GDPR to figure out which fines are for violating which parts of GDPR.
- the_gipsy 3y agoNo idea, but IIRC some are. The text is legalese so hard to make out exactly. Then also it's per country, even more complicated. Filing a case also is per country.
