The scramble doesn't appear to be around changing what they do but more to define that how they do it isn't illegal or create more divides between the various parts of the company and use them more clearly so it's business as usual. FB-EU won't make a huge amount of global revenue since all the fun stuff will be with FB-USA or even FB-shadydatacompany. No reason if you have 20+ companies across the world to have them all GDPR compliant if you can divide them up and continue trading as normal.
For most others they do have tangible goods, amazon for example they could really mess with the delivery of a 55 gallon tub of lube or even seize the lube(I'm sure they have other products too but that's the first that came to mind).

But what can you do?
The EU can't extradite and charge Facebook. They could block them somehow but likely to outrage from citizens(?). Much as I like the idea of great privacy laws worldwide executed by a block of countries I just can't see them having a way to be internet police when it doesn't happen.
Facebook and other big names will obviously do token stuff but a big part of the funding model that makes them viable is based on selling user data in various forms.

If someone comes over from Australia and takes UK based cycle training do you make sure they wear a helmet to be compliant with Australia law?
Being the way the internet is they are making a choice to interpret your typing facebook and accessing an American site as you using the internet to broadcast out and "travel" to America to access services.
If you went on holiday and had data stored about you while on holiday they aren't obliged to change anything based on you being from the EU.

The only iffy bit I noticed was going into the middle U at the end you started the join from gravel to tarmac has a pothole like line diagonal across it. Apart from that very straight/square ramps nothing too difficult but kids could struggle as they need a bit of speed to get up/over.
I'll be passing fri+sat+tues 2pm or so each time, say hello if you see me.

I'm going from my place SW2 Streatham Hill to Croydon Arena(in Norwood Junction) so on the way in I ride up and over the hill via Crown Point but on the way back the hill isn't as nice so I ride around via the other less steep ways. I don't mind the A23 just riding along to join it is that much more along.
