To be completely honest, from everything I've seen, I'd love to see the GPDR be copy-pasted into US law and made a part of international treaties. It seems like The Right Thing to do.



There's a good chance that a lot of big US tech companies are going to apply the GDPR to everyone. It'd be too hard for (say) Facebook to have 2 databases.


That would be great because even we Europeans would profit from it: US regulators and law enforcement can be incredibly brutal.


GDPR does not apply for state actors.


I think he meant US law enforcement can be brutal against violators.
