    Can you cite a case where an American company with no holdings or dealings in the EU was fined successfully?

    If the company has no infrastructure within the jurisdiction of the gdpr, how can they hope to enforce it?

      IANAL and this obviously won’t happen (because it’s one of if not the stupidest way to go about it right from the get go) but still:

      They can literally demand any and all European ISPs block all their traffic, they can still raise the fees and if they don’t pay accrue interest/late claims on it. Will this change anything? Not immediately, but the moment that company does anything the courts can reach they are in a whole lot of trouble.


      Anyway besides this are there really companies that are so US centric that a European court can’t (like really absolutely can’t) reach them?

      Reddit has holdings in Dublin, Ireland, where they have a large contingent of employees. thus they are required to adhere to GDPR.
