This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.
But GDPR is the European thing, and Threads isn’t even available in Europe.
GDPR is a protection that applies to European citizens, regardless of where they’re situated. companies don’t get a pass because they blocked IP addresses coming from Europe.
now, enforcement outside the EU is a challenge, but the law is written in such a way that it covers the personal info of every EU citizen regardless of location.
Wouldnt it count for lemmy.world and other European instances because they are from Europe?
If there service is affecting a service in the EU then they will have to abide by Gdpr. Fact is if your server is in the EU and they scrape it they are active in the EU.
