Whois vs GDPR, latest news

Yeah, that's not accurate.  US organizations sue EU organizations in US
courts (and vice versus) on a regular basis but have EU courts collect the
damages.  Congress can carve out an exemption, but I haven't heard of an
effort in that direction getting started yet.  In the absence of a
legislative exemption the EU regulators can absolutely sue a US entity in
US civil courts and get a ruling based on EU laws and regulations.

Here's a completely unrelated civil case, on libel, that references the
bilateral enforcement and how NY state carved out an exemption.
