It moved from Ireland to the Netherlands, both are in the EU. This will not change anything regarding GDPR.

8 1 ReplyAren't there tax benefits to incorporating in Ireland? Conventional thought would suggest that the tax/regulatory environment in the Netherlands would be less attractive?

Maybe connect it to the one in CA with a massive underwater tunnel lol clown
