I believe he does have a cop-out if HN isn't selling to or marketed towards the EU, but I thank you for sharing your experience because I'm looking to shut my account in the near future.

Theoretically, a company that only offers services to US residents (mortgage/banking/legal) could still be beholden to GDPR, since their cardholders might access their website (i.e. be provided services) while in Europe, though as far as I know it's never been tested in court.
- pc86 4y agoRespectfully, this is utter nonsense. The EU has full jurisdiction within the EU, and zero without. The EU has no ability to demand action or inaction from an entity in the United States. They can ask all they want but it's just that - a request.
- Bouncingsoul1 4y agoRespectfully, this is also not correct. "The EU has full jurisdiction within the EU, and zero without" like in software there are always corner cases, as with e.g. Norway or Liechtenstein. Also on some more specific stuff via bilateral agreements. Has nothing to do with this case, but still your statement is false
- pc86 4y agoIs it though? Isn't the enforcement authority in Norway still the Norwegian government and not the EU? Can't Norway vote to rescind that bilateral agreement?
- manuelmoreale 4y agoEU/US laws aside, do you think, from a human perspective, to be unreasonable for me, as a human beign, to have the power to ask for my data to be deleted?
