I have no business assets connected to any EU countries, and I don't have any desire to cross any EU borders. So I will continue to enjoy life in my home country and ignore your provincial laws.

So why are you so nervous? Just ban all those 500 millions "provincial" users and feel free to ignore GPDR. It's nothing new that countries extend protection for their citizens and business entities well beyond its borders, for example, US routinely extradites foreign citizens that have nothing to do with USA for DMCA violations, hacking and whatnot.

Nervous? Not at all. My point is, it isn't my responsibility to ban them or take any other action on my end. That's a problem to be resolved between the EU's governments and its citizens.

... because laws that enable mass-surveillance are somehow worldly?
