Why are you trying to be an authority on GDPR without even reading about what it is?
GDPR applies to all personal data of people currently in the EU. If you have a service that uses data from a person in the EU, you need to comply with it. It's not some "gotcha" law which goes in effect once you make money.
What personal data is a Lemmy instance holding onto?
I'm pointing out how much bullshit is being spread in this damn thread by people who don't understand the law. You're the same damn users who get pissy with forums and demand action be taken using a law you don't understand.
You are the one who doesn't understand the law.
Says the guy who's literally arguing with what lawyers in the USA say about the GDPR...good one.
Show me a lawyer that says "if you are processing data of EU citizens you can't get fined in the US". You don't know anything about GDPR. It's not some toothless law that only works in Europe.
What part of personal data do you not understand? Lemmy instances are no processing any personal data
And the link I provided has already stated this, but here it is again.
