MODERATORS
Then they are in breach of GDPR regulations. If they don't comply I could see some serious fines heading their way
Wouldn't they have to have some sort of presence in the EU? If all of their operations are US based (I don't know if they are or not), can the EU really do anything about it?
They serve people in the EU so they absolutely have to comply. If you have EU citizens on your website then EU GDPR regulations apply to you.
I have done enough GDPR compliance training to make me want to gouge my own brain out but I guess it came in handy lol
Suppose Reddit tells them to go away. What are they going to do about it?
I believe blocking reddit in the EU is an option.
How would they implement that?
Matching you IP to your country and showing you an excuse if GDPR would apply. Some American news outlets do it this way.
