And for any of those “processors” outside of the EU? Good luck. I could stand up a processor anywhere outside the EU, get all of the feed data and 1) good luck finding it, me, or where it’s at. And 2) removing it. There’s no centralized authority to fine.
As long as they process data of European citizens it’s applicable. See all gdpr fines imposed…. Now the execution / collection would be a bitch but I could imagine à order to stop processing the data imposed to European instances…
I mean pretty crazy things can happen. See the various adequacy decisions / appeals by Mr Schrems; I cannot give guidance with a life expectancy of more than 1 year given the instability of the application of the regulation.
Not that I’m complaining ; it feeds me :)
