Extraterritorial enforcement of the GDPR is not possible – so US privacy offenders go free

In April this year EDPB announced the report on the extraterritorial enforcement of the GDPR examines the extent to which the GDPR can be effectively enforced by Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) against entities that fall under the scope of the GDPR but are established outside of Europe.

A comment (machine translation):

Will a conclusion that identified violations can continue without consequences in the US affect the assessment of the level of protection in the US?

In an article by Tweakers (Dutch) of 5 December, this report was mentioned and the case of LocateFamily, that did not pay the fine by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP). According to the article, the AP will send a letter to the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer), stating that enforcement options are lacking.
