Each EU member state, the UK, Switzerland and Russia don't really get involved
- pocksuppet 8mo agoThose countries may also ratify EU laws if they wish. I think the UK has something similar to GDPR and Switzerland also picks and chooses which laws it thinks make sense.
- jimnotgym 8mo agoNo, they don't. The UK was a member of the EU when GDPR was passed, and chose to adopt it as law. When it left the EU it didn't repeal it. They may both decide to copy, or imitate laws similar to the ones the the EU has, but they can't 'ratify' them.
