EU can write any law it wants. It cannot enforce it on anyone who is not have a nexus to EU.

Any hobby that gets to a point of making money in EU gets a nexus. Everything else is a FUD. Facebook, Google, Apple, etc all have nexus which is why it is applicable to them. JoeSchmoeLLC from Delaware does not.

Just because something isn't easily enforceable it doesn't become legal or ethical.

A small company absolutely can get by with shoebox accounting, too, it's just not particularly advisable to do so.

The same applies to completely ignoring GDPR, whether it's enforceable or not.

It is as laughable as it gets. Let me guess:

1. You never cross a street not on a crosswalk 2. You never drive above speed limit 3. You never signup for the same website twice if their TOS say "you shall have only one account"? ...

And so many other silly statements.

Laws are only useful if they cab be enforced. This law cannot be enforced against any entity not in jurisdiction.
