I'm from Europe and never think of GDPR helping anything much, just annoyance. I can understand why other countries won't bother. What happens btw if an American company just ignores GDPR but still welcomes European visitors? Why would they care about EU law?

If the American company doesn't sell things to European customers I don't think GDPR even applies.
