IANAL, but how the GDPR is formulated. Reddit would need to prove that you are not an EU citizen, iirc.
So itโs not enough to prove that the IP used is not from the EU and that therefore itโs (supposedly) not under EU jurisdiction?
It covers EU citizens traveling abroad?
If so, dang thatโs a good law
According to WP: The GDPR also applies to data controllers and processors outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) if they are engaged in the "offering of goods or services" (regardless of whether a payment is required) to data subjects within the EEA, or are monitoring the behaviour of data subjects within the EEA (Article 3(2)). The regulation applies regardless of where the processing takes place.
