In regards to GPDR, it seems unreasonable that a company should have to attempt to determine which country or region applicable laws would apply to a instance and interaction of its users.
I wonder the legality of saying somewhere in the terms and services if you have a statement like "by using an account, you agree that you are in the US, and all interactions with this site will be governed by the applicable laws of this country" (forgive my primitive legalese.)
because at the moment having EUs compliance to work with is once thing, but say in 10 years when every other country (or collective) starts to pass their own, it will be a nightmare to navigate.
It seems to have the potential, of how insurance companies in the US have to have large compliance departments whose sole purpose is to try to insure the company is in compliance with every market they are doing business in.
