    Reddit’s a US company and GDPR is EU law. Why would an American company be expected to follow EU laws?

    (Not a shill, just genuinely interested. It wouldn’t occur to me as a Brit to demand Reddit comply with GDPR.)

      It seems that foreign companies still have to comply if they are offering goods or services to or monitoring data of people in the EU. I’m not sure if this applies to Reddit in this case but it can be necessary for American companies to comply with the GDPR.
