If you have ever opened a bank account in Europe, you have come across a checkbox, where you have to specify that you are not an American citizen. The US pushes their regulations on companies outside their jurisdiction, too.

the result for banking is that European banks refuse to let Americans open bank accounts

depending on the levels enforcement I suspect the same will be true of many popular online services for GDPR: you check the "EU citizen" checkbox and you're banned

It's not just Europe, I've heard of banks here in New Zealand doing the same. The cost of compliance for them was more than the customer was worth.
