I am quite sure it is not valid in Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Brazil, China and Russia?

Again, one is incorrectly assuming scammers care about your local laws in the first place, and present informal fallacy as an argument with little contextual relevance.

Given our uniquely crafted developer contact data was often injected into the data sets as a logic test, it was common practice to climb back up the delivery pipeline to identify the cheats and cons. ;-)


Yes, the number of Pakistanian, Indian, Nigerian and so on websites EU people visit is off the scale. Oh, wait, it isn't. And even then: technically they do fall under the GDPR.


Wasn't the GDPR deployed in late 2018? By then I was well into a whole different career path. Again, an irrelevant informal fallacy orthogonal to the conversation (Autism spectrum perhaps?)

Besides, most of Netherlands IP blocks are already blacklisted on my routes for various theft-of-service scams including SIP hijacking attempts. i.e. your country rates in the top 5 nuisance traffic origins... congratulations.. I guess... ;-)
