> You get sued - so what?

Would I be right in assuming that you’ve never been on the receiving end of a government-scale lawsuit?

The UK can only ask Germany to 'do something about it'. Courts apply to entities over which they have jurisdiction. UK isn't even in the EU anymore, they have no power over a German mail company.

The OP of the thread specifically asked what options are available to organizations in the UK.

If you're operating in the UK, your operations there must, naturally, be subject to UK law.

It can have reach similar to GDPR, when if German company serves UK customers, they will have to comply.

The UK has no jurisdiction in Germany - they are separate sovereign states. It would be up to the UK to prevent them serving UK customers, because - as long as their own government dont interfere - they could just ignore any demands. This is just as true for the GDPR.
