Interestingly (I've just been reading up on this a bit), these rules don't apply to just EU companies hosting stuff outside of the EU, but to any business holding the data of an EU citizen.
Therefore, arguably, as an EU citizen using, say, Twitter, they have to ensure they comply with the EU directive. Which then leads me on to think what percentage of the services I use actually abide by the rules, and whose job it is to enforce them.
