    only sort of correct: the GDPR applies globally (see this comment: https://jlai.lu/comment/4089576), however if you don’t ever plan on visiting or doing business in the EU it’s probably one of those things that people would ignore because it’d be too difficult/impossible for the EU to actually follow up on

      off-topic but also the reason why people in the US need to use TOR to look up anything health related that isn’t on wikipedia, because the insane amount of data from tracking on the health websites hosted in the States are then sold to insurers and hence these websites are often not available in the EU because they aren’t GDPR-compliant. fucking dystopian
