I said "go look at my earlier replies" not specificly to say I had mentioned treaties earlier, but to say I hadn't been moving the goalposts. My point is the exact same.

> The extradition process did, but that is a question of custody.

This is the key point though. Plenty of western countries and especially AU/NZ are super buddy buddy with the US and happy to cooperate. Especially when they agree with the laws.

Most countries won't extradite someone for a (from their point of view) silly GDPR violation.

> In addition, there ARE numerous trade treaties that cover privacy, the right of countries to implement privacy regulation on international trade and specific protections that allow data exportation from the EU.

There is not a single treaty that covers allowing the EU the extraterritorial jjurusdiction they claim for the GDPR.

> This is false. The entity has to be based in the EU or be offering goods and services to people in the EU to have the GDPR apply.

You're right, my apologies - I should have added "offering goods and services to people in the EU" to be more specific, I had thought you would infer that from our discussion as I'd made that point previously, multiple times.

SO, here you go, a refined point: The EU claims it applies to ANY entity in ANY country offering goods and services to ANY EU citizen, and that entity collected data and targeted EU citizens in a way the EU didn't like.

That's what is ridicukous, that is what is entirely unlike any US law you've tried to compare it to. They have no ability to prosecute foreign violations and that's why, since teh GDPR came into effect, they never have.

> it is not the first of it's kind

It is. Specifically for declaring it's extraterritorial jurusdiction in the legislation, and because that can be aimed at anyone operating the 'wrong' type of website, not just officials or people commiting a specific crime.

> I've already provided several examples that disprove your statment.

No. You provided examples of laws that are not analogous, and I explained why that is.

> The "relevant details" are the qualifications that you keep making up but conviently still leave off when making your false claims.

I have not made a single false claim. Not one. You either have a misunderstanding of the GDPR, or you are going out of your way to defend and downplay the issues.

> you even doubled down on with a double "absolutely" when I first called you on it.

Yeah. I really suspect you are deliberatlly taking thing literally instead of just inferring what is obvious from the context so you can make these kinds of points, but instead of assuming bad faith I'll assume it's a misunderstanding.

> At this point, I suggest you put far more effort into verifying the accuracy of what you say or nobody will take anything you say seriously. I certainly don't anymore.

At this point, I suggest you do a little more research before jumping into these kinds of discussions. Sure, you caught me out with lacking a few qualifier, but my overall claim is absolutely correct.

No other western country has a law as far-reaching and widely applying as the GDPR, and no other western country has such a toothless law that has been so publicized that could never hope to be enforced.
