If I understand the GDPR correctly (and who does?), this article is very misleading. Specifically:

"If you don’t have an office in the EU, our laws can’t touch you. "

That's only true if you never travel to Europe. You could have a website that's in violation of GDPR, travel to Europe on vacation or business, and get arrested.

No, you can't. This still requires a warrant.
