They obviously don’t have a valid claim to be able to tell everyone who wants to put a website on the internet that they have to do it the EU way, which is what we’re actually talking about.

If the site can be viewed in the EU, it has to follow EU rules. Not different from other countries.

What do you think why the normal polymarket site is blocked for US users.

  • I’ve got a bunch of sites that can be viewed from (checks notes) the internet. If people in Europe don’t like that, they can block it, or choose not to visit it. In the meantime, you’ve proven exactly what I first said, which is that they are claiming it applies worldwide. Here I am, just putting a site on the internet, and you’re telling me I have to follow EU laws concerning it. Nope. I don’t.

    • So you decided to provide your webpage in the Eu and know it's the EUs fault that you have to follow local laws.

      Ar eyou demanding that your rights are valid globally? That's more than the EU want with the GDPR.

      BTW if you are concerned about the GDPR it means you track your visitors and store personal data about them otherwise you wouldn't have any problem.
