GDPR law is illegal. You cannot force a company to follow your laws if it doesn't have a subsidiary in that country (unless there is a special agreement between two countries). So I don't care if my SaaS is compliant with GDPR. Good luck trying to sue me outside of EU...

I do not understand what you are writing.

GDPR applies to EU companies only. It is legal in these countries. Not sure what "illegal" means in your comment. Illegal where?

GDPR also states that a non-EU company has to follow GDPR if it offers content accessed from the EU and has presence in the EU (where the fine will be applied). This is normal practice because local law cannot apply cross countries. It is also unfortunate because stronger countries bully weaker ones that way.

No. Just because someone from north korea visited my website doesn't mean I have to comply with north korean laws. Otherwise you need to comply with laws from 200+ countries and need an army of lawyers+developers. Exactly the same with EU countries.
