So if I’m an American company and have no offices in Europe and ignore GDPR for my free customers, what happens? Will I get arrested by the Polizei when I land in Berlin? Will the US force me to pay these fines?
My suspicion is that only companies with significant business interests in the EU are targeted, investigated and fined. Otherwise they could just ignore it.

Closing the window frees up some video RAM, as you are no longer processing and displaying video streams from the voice/video chat. Minimizing the window keeps that RAM in active use.
Then that's also an issue that Discord should work on.

I agree with you in principle and I think that the EU is basically extorting American companies, but in your example all that information is stored in your phone, while in this case the information is stored in Discord's servers.
American companies are free to not do business within the EU. If they do, they must comply with the law. Same with USA, China, Russia, etc.

Revenue is not profit. You need to subtract expenses and whatnot.
That’s right. But for GDPR no one cares about profits. They need to be fined on revenue. Otherwise non-profit making companies could do any privacy BS and not be fined.

isn't that the case for gmail? if you send me an email with a picture in it, then delete your email account, i can still see your email when logging into my gmail
No. Email is private messaging. If you send email to me and then delete it in your end, I'm allowed to store your email as a whole (sometimes legally obliged).

30 years on the Internet and I am still waiting to see the huuuuuge damage I get from companies tracking me online. Because targeted ads I didn't mind. But you had to equate them with bioweapons and teen suicide. Do you really find them comparable? How?! Meanwhile millions of man-hours are wasted across the EU hunting and closing annoying cookie consent dialogs. Small ad-supported business which existed since the beg…
Um remember PRISM? Or the cloud act? I seriously don't understand how you can get so outraged at countries trying to hamper a foreign government from mass spying at their population. That sounds like Also,i fail to see your point: small ad-supported businesses in the beginning of the internet did not rely on tracking and targeted ads, did they?
That's a red flag to me already.
