    Maybe you should reread what you wrote? You said there’s no way GDPR would ever apply. I said it does. You said there are no enforceable actions, there are. the part you thought makes you right is the “criminal charges” part but that makes zero sense to begin with because GDPR, as an EU wide regulation, imposes only fines and no criminal charges.

      Apply meaning being applied to you by a human regulator regulating a lemmy instance. This will never happen.

      Again, look up the enforcement actions again the private individuals who got pinned for GDPR, they have all also been tried in Spanish and Portuguese courts for other criminal offenses that had the regulators take a look at them and what they are doing. There are actual GDPR offenses that never get regulated. The company I work for literally just ignores it and no one has ever found out. Why? Because we made the risk assessment of a EU citizen actually having a problem, suing us, then having a regulator contact us, and then actually begin investigating us to levy a fine is actually really low despite the fact you think EU regulators are somehow omniscient. The fact that you think they’re going to regulate a Lemmy instance is just not grounded in reality. It is concern trolling.
