At the moment there is no way the EU can enforce you to comply with that law, unless you have a subsidiary in the EU. Only if USA sign a special agreement with the EU this may change, but I don't think this will ever happen (very unlikely). Otherwise every country on planet can create their own draconian laws and expect that every single company in the world comply with it...

this is true, but kinda pointless, you are not gonna fight the EU over this... Several countries in the EU (UK, Ireland, ...) can assign personal liability for intentionally ignoring privacy law, in which case someone in your company is basically going to end up a wanted man in Europe

UK is not part of the EU.

> assign personal liability

Citation needed? If CEO decides to ignore privacy law, everyone else is accountable?
