The EU might want that, but just today my company collected and passed the personal details of a number of EU citizens to colleagues without their consent.

Since the company doesn't do business in the EU, the GDPR can go get knotted.

PS. My gay mates have also not decided to go straight just because Uganda outlaws it.

That's not how international law works though, especially when wielded by a large economic block. If the EU wants to put pressure on a company the pain is harsh. For instance they can blacklist the company and it's C-suite from international banking and ask any in-treaty country to extradite or arrest employees.

Also are you admitting to breaking EU law and moral/ethical codes on HN ?

The first yes, the latter no.

I also freely admit to breaking a lot of blasphemy laws.

None of them are laws where I live, so I won't ever get extradited.
