That works for consumers of content. Creators who want to monetize their content probably not so much.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

BTW what if a service just has its servers outside of the EU?

I'm guessing they will either have to comply or use geoblocking - see some US blocking EU IPs because they don't want to expose themselves to GDPR issues.

But why would the EU have jurisdiction over what's on a -say- American server?

Presumably google and facebook will want to sell advertising in Europe.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
