Of course it doesn't, that'd be stupid. But it does require them to be compliant, otherwise they'll face fines and eventually they'll chose to either be compliant, or exit the market.

As a EU citizen with rights, I love this, exactly what I want from my inter-continent union of countries.

Or declare war against the EU, which is the option they've gone for.

And complying with the GDPR isn't that difficult as a startup. You can build your systems from the ground up to be able to accommodate GDPR requirements. There is some documenting paperwork you are supposed to have internally, but enforcement is quite lenient if you show good-faith efforts to comply.
