"We're" not responsible for abiding by "your" laws, whether "your" citizens are involved or not.
Do "you" abide by (one example among many) the US Second Amendment when "our" citizens are visiting "your" country?
No, you do not.
QED.
- sebastiennight 3y agoWell, according to what I could find[1], > Like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the US laws apply to where consumers reside, not where the company is headquartered. It doesn’t matter if a company doesn’t have an office in California if it has customers, website visitors, etc. that reside there and their personal information is being processed by the company. So, yes, if I was an EU company, I would need to abide by California privacy laws. Now IIRC there's some fine print in California's laws that says this only matters if the company is over a certain size, has a minimum number of CA users, and resells information. But that "filter" is also part of CA law, not EU law.
