Comment on €1.2B GDPR fine for Metaparent

Comments

Yes indeed. If you do business in a country, adhere to the rules of this country. Simple.

True globalization (one global rulebook) is a probably not to achieve, considering all the different aspects of societies in this world (degree of capitalism, degree of privacy, degree of social class responsibility, degree of liberal society, degree of ...).

The G7 countries (aka US, EU, JP, Australia) are lucky to have a rough idea on what that should be. When you talk to China then you start banning stuff instead of playing court fines and regulatory alignment.

Not simple because the US CloudAct contradicts EU GDPR

Yes, correct. But that is something they can figure out.

One has to take a step back, a compromise isn't possible.
