I did. The best I’ve found is that US companies have to follow GDPR because it says it’s reach is international, and this has never been tested in court. Any specific cases are always related to big tech which EU courts can hurt, as far as I can tell there has never been any test of the reach for a site like in the OP.
Sorry but I went off on a thread with someone else and now I really need to know what this is based on. As far as I can tell, GDPR’s international reach has never been tested, there is no specific legislation I can find, and any companies big enough for the EU to care also operate in the EU so can be hurt by EU courts (as in, pay the fine or no more Facebook in Europe).
I’m being down voted to hell for asking a question but I still want some confirmation of the answer backed up by something.
Thanks for providing this, I wasn’t able to find it through my own searches. I’m reading the linked documents, and can’t find anything to back up that the US courts will enforce the foreign fine. In fact, this is specifically addressed in the document and it seems to support that they will not support it.
C. The rule against recognition of foreign fines and penal judgments
The general rule in favor of recognizing foreign country judgments that meet the foundational requirements above is subject to a key exception: under both the Recognition Acts and the common law, U.S. courts generally do not recognize or enforce foreign judgments for the collection of taxes, fines, or penalties.
Given my original question was why can’t they ignore the fine, it seems the answer is that they can?
I’m almost certain that import and export has specific laws written for that case, considering how crucial it is to the country. GDPR is a specific new thing less than 10 years old and has no equivalent in US law.
Sorry, I may have given the impression that I mean I was questioning if there are any laws that control how interactions with other countries work. In fact my question was if there are generic laws that say “when Europe introduces some new law, the US has to follow it”.
The only thing that currently stands out, and it a tad annoying, is the aids amplify my own voice when I speak. Makes to me my voice sound echoey and louder than I’m used to.
A quick search and it seems it’s normal you’ll probably get used to it, but also there are some specific things that can make it worse so if you have a follow up appointment then mention it then as there might be some adjustments that can help to some minor extent.
I also saw mention of specific hearing aids that you can train your voice on and it filters it out. But I’m assuming they come at a premium.
