Just a note: GDPR applies globally. Companies can't collect data on Europeans even if they reside on another continent.
- vrganj 18d agoAs a European that lived in the US for a while, I enjoyed responding to unsolicited marketing emails with GDPR emails to legal departments.
- mitxela 17d agoGDPR claims to apply globally, in the same way Windows believes it owns the whole computer, but I'm actually running it in a VM. The actual boundary of GDPR is the intersection of where it says it applies (everyone in Europe and European residents everywhere), where it can be enforced (in Europe, mostly, against European business entities), and what judges will actually rule on (probably not Europeans overseas who misrepresent themselves as locals)
