GDPR is one of the reasons I’m hoping for the collapse of the EU.

If a US company has no physical presence in Europe I see no reason why they should comply with their bullshit.

And under a Trump administration... good luck.

I bet Poland and Hungry are next to leave. It's a sad, predictable situation, take away the people's ability to check their own government, it's almost a law of physics that next to go is free speech (now), and then... history repeats. The BREXIT vote shows they know, but it's to be seen if the British can turn this one around.

That's the beauty of it all.

Do you really think YCombinator has no EU exposure? It's a multi-billion dollar company.
