Article 13 Is Back On: Worse, Not Better

Well, from a practical perspective, if you have no operations in or other ties to a country, you are not subject to their laws.

US-centric sites ignoring GDPR compliance would be one such example.

By operation, do you mean a legal one, a financial one or a technical one ?

Probably the first two only. Financial and legal are within reach while technical requires a draconian solutions if you aren't paying anyone to carry your content or doing something home country illegal like hacking EU servers.

You can say, insult the king of Thailand all day every day on the internet and if you have no legal or financial ties you are safe.
