Thanks for responding! I was hoping someone would finally bring up concrete points after talking to a lawyer, and you have. It still doesn't sound like a big deal to me (you don't mention anything in-depth, only that the law can now actually harm you both in terms of jurisdiction and non-trivial fines), but I see where you're coming from.

Can you please quote the "concrete points" made in the parent post?

Sure, it's in the first line:

> the extraterritorial reach, and the absurd maximum fines that can indeed be assessed for a first, single violation

As I said in my comment, I don't think those are big issues if you comply with the law (and 99% of the law is common sense or was already in place in most countries), but they are points that a lawyer might indeed have brought up.
