How will the GDPR impact machine learning?

Perhaps us Europeans should demand that US law is drafted in a way that is more familiar to us? In fact I find the hierarchy of state and federal law really complicated compared to UK law, so you should change that too.

Sarbanes-Oxley in particular is much more draconian than any UK corporate law, and this is a barrier to me coming and breaking the law in the US, so you should change that too.

I didn't vote for your overseas faceless bureaucrat either, so I can I treat US law as optional?

Sorry Team America, you don't get to choose our laws

And you don’t get to decide that your laws apply to us just because your citizens are voluntarily sending us data. If you don’t want us to have the data, don’t send it. My server receiving a request from an EU citizen doesn’t give you jurisdiction over my business. I know you think it does, and I’m sure I’ll be downvoted, but you can pass whatever laws you want and if they don’t apply to me, I’ll continue to ignore them.
