Ask HN: Where/How would you launch a SaaS if you wanted to ignore GDPR?
I'm from Europe, I have 2 (B2B) projects on pause because of GDPR concerns. Potential clients were literally harassing me to release one of them, but a 10M euros fine didn't seem worth it...
If I wanted to just ignore GDPR could I incorporate a company outside of Europe's jurisdiction? Would that be "legal"? Can a company incorporated outside of Europe actually be fined by Europe and can the fine be enforced?
For example I see that Lusha is incorporated in NYC/Israel and they seem to be doing fine even though they definitely aren't GDPR friendly.(I also just noticed they have a German office which seems pretty weird but whatever)

Does anyone here have experience with that?
