How about the EU imposing GDPR restrictions on non-eu companies?

Depends on whether those businesses want to do business with the EU

It should only affect companies that have a presence in Europe, as in an office or some entity.

I think that's different because I have a positive personal opinion of the GDPR and a negative personal opinion about what the UK is doing. Therefore the GDPR is good and this is bad. It's really quite objective.

You can hold a mirror up to HN, but you can't make them look.

I may have a positive personal opinion of the GDPR, but I ignore all GDPR requests for the website I have that you can just visit, because I don't want to be seen as doing business that makes me subject to GDPR

Or these are oranges and apples, and your perspective is simply blurred because you are starting a fight whenever someone wants you to put up your glasses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The GDPR is about your data being handled overseas.

OFCOM&co is about overseas data going to you.

They only apply to your business in Europe.

You don't need to apply gdpr when serving non European users.
