- csmpltn 7mo agoEuropean governments and institutions have conveniently exempted themselves from GDPR. And just because it's a law somewhere on earth, doesn't make it reasonable or enforceable or legal. 1. American and European laws have different standards for data processing 2. EU citizens willingly go into a contract with an American company, buying and using American services 3. EU citizens complain American law is different than European law, whilst continuing to use American products 4. EU citizens expect their laws and regulations to apply to American companies Nobody can reasonably expect American companies to just bend over for whatever the lawmakers in Europe demand. It's an absurd scenario that only the EU can come up with.
