Again, I think you're misreading something. > You seem to want to abandon the idea of national sovereignty for a global sovereign with geographically-bounded subordinate jurisdictions No I don't, nor did I say or imply that. &g

There are regions, but they all speak the same language and use the same date formats: you do not have to internationalize or target your app, it is thus a single market. Not remotely so in the EU.

You're very confused. Nothing I said implies anything you said. > You seem to want to abandon the idea of national sovereignty Uh, no, try reading that again, I implied no such thing.

> If you are a business owner in US, you will probably go to EU at some point in time. Not remotely true; the vast majority of US citizens never leave the US.

The US will generally not cooperate unless said thing is also illegal in the US. The EU can ask, they cannot enforce, and the US doesn't make a habit of enforcing laws of foreign nations on citizens when said thing is perfectly legal

I was quite clear what I meant by trading block, I wasn't aware that was a specific term of art, but that's not what I meant regardless and that's clear from my response. I understand it just fine, perhaps you don't unde

Hey, that's the price of using all of those things, if you don't want to pay that price; don't. You don't own a photo I take of you nor do you own data I collect about you from the public sphere.

True; but I don't care about that; never been to the EU and likely never will, same as most Americans.

I don't care what the EU agrees to, there's this thing called national sovereignty; I'm not subject to the laws of every country that simply asserts I am. The world cannot function if we're subject to every law every cou

No, it isn't; the product of my labor belongs to me. Whether it's photographs of public spaces or data logged in public spaces, the data I put in the labor to collect belongs to me. If I write a book about you, it belongs to me, i

There isn't one; that's the point these GDPR supporters aren't comprehending, national sovereignty is a thing, the world cannot function if every country can impose its laws on every citizen in the world.

International laws aren't really laws, they're suggestions; the US ignores them all the time when it feels it's in its best interest.
