> The GDPR covers EU citizens wherever in the world they are. No. In law, EU GDPR absolutely does not cover EU citizens who are physically outside the EU. GDPR makes no reference to citizens or residents and is understood to apply to any person whenever they are physically present in the EU, and to data which is created/located physically inside the EU's borders (and to data which has crossed the border within the rules). Citation e.g. first search result https://www.hipaajournal.com/does-gdpr-apply-to-eu-citizens-living-in-the-us/ https://www.hipaajournal.com/does-gdpr-apply-to-eu-citizens-... which suggests only that businesses might find it easier to give GDPR protections more widely. I would not expect that advice to be taken by Facebook.
