> If you process data of EU subjects

Will be interesting so see how this shakes out in the courts over the next few decades.

It’s not possible to know the legal jurisdiction of the user represented by an incoming packet with today’s internet.

To me this sounds like a random person in a random country smuggling their data across a boarder into my system without my consent. Have a hard time reconciling my views on privacy and individual freedom with a world where a random country can hold me liable for some random law in their jurisdiction when I never consented to doing business with their citizens.




he's a under eu juridiction if he says so (say when he asks you to delete his data). this has the added feature that gdpr protects all netizens :) yay
