I don't really understand how european laws are enforcable in
non-european nations? If the BBS was in europe, sure, they must comply to
european laws, but if a BBS is in another country.. do we have
international agreements to honour GDPR laws? Am I going to get
extradited from Australia if a European user logs into my BBS?
I don't see any need to block europeans from fsxnet / BBSing, it's up to
them to comply with their own laws. What's to stop a european from
logging into a BBS via a proxy even if we did block them all out?
Ok, now say we care about the GDPR, how do we comply? is it simply a
matter of having a privacy policy?
Personally, I don't care. I'm not in europe, I'm never going to europe,
and I'm kind of offended that europeans think they can enforce their
moronic laws on the entire world?
