GDPR though only works if you reside in UK right? CA also has CCPA where you can request and they should honor. However, to my knowledge CCPA does not have as much teeth as GDPR laws? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

GDPR exists in the entire EU

And the UK because it predates Brexit.

And it applies to EU citizens living abroad, so even if you're not one, submitting a request can work.

And also applies to non-EU citizens in the EU.

I visited the EU once - can I join in?

If your data is being processed in the EU, it is protected by GDPR even if you're not a European citizen and not currently in the EU.

I tried it once with Reddit a long time ago and they never asked me to verify I was from the EU, they just told me that the data would auto be deleted after x amount of days.

Not sure if it still applies as AI is hungry for all that data now.
