So do American constitutional protections apply to Americans living in France? I am having a hard time understanding GDPR jurisdictional power. US citizens in France aren’t protected by the US Fair Credit Act with French banks, even when those French banks have US subisidiaries because a French company in France isn’t subject to US legal jurisdiction. Even FATCA doesn’t subject a French bank to US law — it subjects French assets in the US to the withholding provisions of US law, meaning, if a French bank has zero US exposure, then FATCA has zero effect.
Are Dutch citizens in Oklahoma protected by Dutch narcotics laws? Of course not. They are subject to the jurisdiction in which they are physically present.
However, a US citizen can be subject to US laws overseas, however, that’s between the American and the US government — the intermediary country has no involvement unless it’s an extradition request.
This idea that EU citizens are protected worldwide is just ridiculous. EU jurisdiction doesn’t extend beyond the EU. The idea that GDPR requests have to be honored by some local ecommerce company in Idaho is just nonsense and not supported by any international legal precedent.
