Re:Publishers Haven't Realized How Big a Deal GDPR Is by isostatic on Sunday April 08, 2018 @08:30PM (#16789378)
So an American can be expected to be arrested on arrival in Paris on holiday because the company they work for ignores the provisions of the GDPR

Sklyarov charges were dropped in a typical american plea-bargain

"Mr. Sklyarov agreed to cooperate with the United States in its ongoing prosecution of Mr. Sklyarov’s former employer, Elcomsoft Co., Ltd. Mr. Skylarov will be required to appear at trial and testify truthfully, and he will be deposed in the matter. For its part, the United States agreed to defer prosecution of Mr. Sklyarov until the conclusion of the case against Elcomsoft or for one year, whichever is longer. Mr. Sklyarov will be permitted to return to Russia in the meantime, but will be subject to the Court’s supervision, including regularly reporting by telephone to the Pretrial Services Department"

I see nothing about jurisdiction there.

The US has pushed the world around for along time, the world is pushing back.
