I personally have refused to comply with GDPR. There's a weird irony in that so many non-EU companies (specifically American) felt the need to comply just because, as I saw on SW oh no, the EU gonna come after you somehow! yet when the EU implements a pain in the butt copyright law, suddenly "well, those laws don't apply to us." So I moved my company location from Czech Republic to Russia, and I'll sell to EU citizens anyway. I say, bring it on:

However, I am done trying to explain things to you @scottalanmiller. Nothing personal. I like you as a person, and I respect your perspectives on many things, but how you're handling this conversation is wearing.

Sorry, honestly trying to learn here. I guess there is a lot of information about GDPR that everyone knows that I just don't understand. But where is everyone learning so much about it?

But if a company is US based (no physical or registered presence in the EU), can they even do anything about it?

This was addressed in the thread: https://mangolassi.it/topic/16992/gdpr-resources/75.

Didn't see that.

But, wow... I'm in complete agreement with SAM's reply to that. Wtf.

In my last job a horde of consultancy companies proposed gap analysis to us. That's a good starting point. Then you just need to be prdpared to spend a lot in useless stuff.
