You have a point, although we don't know the details of this attack (they haven't even disclosed the name of the extension) so I guess I'm biased against them in light of recent history. My comment was more general than this

It's more complicated then this. The GDPR does not mention residency. According to some interpretations it's enough that you're located in the EU.
