    Failing to comply with the act’s rules could land companies with fines of up to £18 million (around $22 million), or 10 percent of their global annual turnover (whichever is higher), and their bosses could even face prison.

    I’m curious how they intend to enforce this on companies that aren’t located in the UK.

        If it’s up to the ICO it’ll be a laugh. Those guys are useless.

      Just wait until the UK turns into a big white blob on the internet due to getting geoblocked by about anyone.
