Is it an opinion? And try to check EU GDPR territoriality and tell me whether you're of a different opinion: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/rules-business-and-organisations/application-regulation/who-does-data-protection-law-apply_en https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r... > The GDPR applies to: > a company or entity which [...]; or > a company established outside the EU and is offering goods/services (paid or for free) or is monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU. Now imagine running a forum or any other service from outside of the EU, on the open web. Does the EU think GDPR applies to you?

All that means is that if you operate in the EU, you must follow EU rules. Which isn’t weird at all, it’s perfectly normal that if you wish to operate in one place, you follow the rules of the place. You are free to not operate in that place and not follow the rules. In other words, that doesn’t mean “EU laws apply to the world”, it means “EU laws apply to whoever operates in the EU”.
