He's likely subject to California law, though. California residents might get a different answer to such a request. https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa > Right to delete: You can request that businesses delete personal information they collected from you and tell their service providers to do the same, subject to certain exceptions (such as if the business is legally required to keep the information).

  Yes, this is how legal jurisdictions work. He can receive one request from someone in Mississippi, one from someone in California, and one from someone in the EU, and provide three completely different responses.

    Yes, but he doesn't have to. One of my clients willingly applies GDPR to everyone, regardless of jurisdiction. If you want your data, you can get it. If you want your stuff deleted, you can do so. I think this is the ethical approach.

      It is also, from what I know, the legal approach. The EU perhaps doesn't have jurisdiction over a service, but what they can do is ask all the ISPs in Europe to block access to it, for example.

If I'm not mistaking if your site operates in the EU as in it's accessible from the EU, you have to comply with GDPR. It's the reason I can't read some American websites. The infamous: > Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market.

  Being accessible from the EU doesn't make your business subject to EU law. The EU doesn't claim universal jurisdiction. Those US newspaper sites you can't access: well, you can access them via archive.org.

    From this point of view, can the entire freedom of speech in the US be solved if a company simply moves the headquarters to the EU because at that point US laws no longer apply? > Being accessible from the EU doesn't make your business subject to EU law. The EU doesn't claim universal jurisdiction. Collecting data related to EU individuals does make you subject to the specific GDPR law though, unless I'm mistaken.
