This guy would probably conclude that a US company operating in the EU would also need to apply GDPR to US users. He is so confidently wrong

The more unique it is, the more easy to find you. That’s why anti-fingerprinting is a problem because removing tracking makes you more unique compared to millions of devices with the same data tracked.

Can you confirm you are physically in the EU? If you are not, they do not care because as you pointed out, “it protects data subjects in the EU”. If you are not in the EU, then your location DOES matter. If you are in an EU territory (or territory where international agreements deem it applicable) even as a non-EU citizen, then that would suck. It doesn’t sound like lottery to me- be physically in a territory where the law applies and get gdpr. Expecting laws to apply outside their jurisdiction is crazy

Yet this same article in paragraph 2 literally says it only covers EU citizens.

“This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union”

Why are you surprised when they point this out?
