If a company (or its owners if not shielded from liability) has any assets
in the EU they can be seized (up to 4% of the company's total value) for

doesn't want to spend the non-trivial time, effort and expense (or lost

has no effect in the US? Amazing.
I thought I had heard from a number of people that GDPR could still bite
people in other countries. I don't remember the how, just that it could
be done.
