That works for consumers of content. Creators who want to monetize their content probably not so much.

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.
