USA: Oh yeah ofcourse I understand
EU: Hmmmmmm
You might be missing the point. Again, the EU will send them a bill and a firm letter, but they don’t have any authority to actually demand payment. That fact has nothing to do with GDPR but with the fact that it’s an entirely different sovereignty.
The EU could sue them, they could impose sanctions on other companies for dealing with said company. They have an enormous amount of power to make sure said company can never deal with anything EU related. They have tried to sue companies in the US for not complying but no outcome for that is known.
That is why you see the cookie notices and general compliance, but also if you’re a relatively small company it’s actually not that hard to comply. It gets exponentially more difficult the larger you get but if you’re that large than you’ll definitely be dealing with world economics, including the EU which gives a lot of incentive to comply.
if actually read up what GDPR is
I have and was a part of my curriculum. Bit arrogant innit
“your point” was that the EU can force a fine on any foreign company operating outside the EU for not following local laws, which is ridiculous. But I agree with the rest.
Ofcourse they do, because they want to keep their business working in Europe. Which doesn’t apply to a decentralized system like the fediverse. But they do not have to pay the fine if they shut down all operations within Europe, which no company wants to do.
Oh for sure they will try to fine, but being another sovereignty they have no authority to force a payment.
Yet GDPR requires if you operate anywhere but allow European citizens to register, you have to be GDPR compliant as well, or risk being blocked by an entire continent.
I knew there would be at least one TempleOS reference in this thread lmao
For sure, but making an OS is not a one man job anymore.
Started as a school project
I wouldn’t take it so seriously, it’s a passion project from a person learning about Rust and OS structure. Don’t compare this project against industry professionals.

LLM’s have already changed the tech space more than anything else for the last 10 years at least. I get what you’re trying to say but that opinion will age like milk.
Edit: made wording clearer
