Is the US government GDPR compliant, or does it not do business with EU citizens?

Or are they granted an expection for being trustworthy good guys unlike these unscrupulous businesses?

I would imagine that only legitimate businesses have to be GDPR compliant. Government agencies almost certainly fall under some national security exemption.

Wut? No. The first organizations I'm going to send gdpr letters are hospitals, which are in no way businesses here in the Netherlands.

Many state run organizations have to be compliant too.

You think spies care about being compliant with privacy laws? Their job is basically not to.
